Question
I have a user looking for soybean and canola crushings. The data is available for 1971 to 1992 but after that date there are no data points. Confidentiality is stated as the reason. Could you explain why?
The cansim series are V383415 and V1459122.
Answer
The data has been suppressed to meet the confidentiality requirements of the Statistics Act. Here are the details I obtained from the Agriculture Division when I asked them about this table:
"As per the footnotes for the table, the data is indeed suppressed to meet the confidentiality requirements of the Statistics Act. As for the specific reason that it might be suppressed, here are some possibilities such as not having enough respondents available to guarantee confidentiality, having one or a few operations contributing an unacceptably high proportion of the value as compared to the other operations or that the data obtained from the surveys is deemed too unreliable to be published for that type of crop."
Note: If you go to the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association - you can get monthly figures from 2005 - July 2007.
