Question
Are population projections available at the level of CSD similar to the one at the level of province (CANSIM 0520005)? I am looking specifically for the CSD of Weyburn, SK.
Answer
Unfortunately, CSD level population projections are not available from Statistics Canada at this time. The division that produces population projections hopes to strengthen its capacity to do these projections, but these won't be possible in the near future.
Additional Information
I don't know about Saskatchewan but in British Columbia it's the provincial government that publishes population projections for municipalities and regions.

Financial Management System
Question
We have a researcher looking for the most recent data on the Financial Management System (FMS), for fiscal years ending March 31. This is a terminated series in CANSIM 385-0022 and the data are annual. The researcher would like to know if there is any way to get quarterly numbers.
Answer
The author division has indicated that all of the series on an FMS basis are terminated since June 2009 and that there was no quarterly series for these data. If the researcher provides the author division with a more detailed description of the data they need, the division has indicated that they might be able to provide recommendations. I will send you the contact details of the person the researcher should contact if he/she wishes to look into this further.

National Graduates Survey
Question
Good afternoon everyone!
Can someone please confirm that the name of the Institution for the respondents in NGS exists in the Master Files? I have a Graduate student looking to apply for RDC access but needs to know whether she will be able to identify the educational institutions in the file? Also would it be possible to obtain a copy of the questionnaire for the Master Files? The questionnaire that we have access to states that it is the "Release Questionnaire" which leads me to believe it is the questionnaire that links to our PUMF files.
Answer
Our education contacts have confirmed that it is not possible to identify the institution on the NGS Master file and that there is only one questionnaire (which is the same for the PUMF and the master file). They sent me one as an example and it also includes the expression "Release Questionnaire".
Additional Question
I have to admit that this is a bit shocking - I thought for sure we'd be able to identify institutions. So I have to ask is there any geographic identifiers in the Master file? I don't see any in the PUMF.
Answer
The author division has indicated that the analytical file includes a provincial level geographic identifier.
