Annual Survey of R&D

Question:
I have another researcher who’s looking at business expenditures in R&D in Saskatchewan. The CANSM tables he’s using are derived from the RDCI survey, but some of the information he needs is xed out . Is there a way for him to access these figures without breaching confidentiality?

Answer:
In the event the client would like to access results from an analytical program using the RDCI data, they could make a research proposal request through the Canadian Centre for Data Development and Economic Research (CDER). Please note there is a cost involved. 

Direct access to the microdata is not possible in order to preserve the confidentiality of the respondent data.
