Looking for Data on Value of Property Seizures in Canada
Question
A student is looking for data on the value of property seized by the police in Canada between 1991 and 2006. Do you have any suggestions as to where these data might be obtained? I´ve looked in Justice Statistics, and it doesn´t seem to capture this information.
Answer
While looking into your question, I came across a few references to the Seized Property Management Directorate of Public Works and Government Services Canada (http://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/apropos-about/fi-fs/bs-spm-eng.html). Their website provides some figures for 1998-1999 to 2008-2009 that may help the student. Their administrative reports may provide additional figures.
Our public sector statistics contacts have confirmed that they don't collect these data.
I hope that this confirmation and the suggestion above are helpful to you and the student.

Data by Dissemination Area in Beyond 2020 Files
Question
The researcher was using the 2006 Census Complete Cumulative Profile at the DA level and the PCCF to map socio-economic indicators by postcode - something he´s done before for the 2001 census. He had no problem for most of the country, but for the Saskatchewan he came across an abnormally large number of DAs (740/2300) that don´t appear in the B2020 file. I had a look at a couple of them and there is data for the CSD (the 7 digit number, i.e., 4701001) but not for the DA (8 digits). It doesn´t seem random enough to be a case of data suppression, what am I/he missing?
I can provide a full list of missing DAs if helpful.
Answer
The following 2006 Census dissemination area (DA) level suppression lists describe the DAs for which data have been suppressed and could be used to confirm if data for DAs in the Beyond 20/20 file have been suppressed.
Dissemination area suppression list including census subdivisions in which they are located - 100% data

Dissemination area suppression list including census subdivisions in which they are located - 20% sample data

If you have any questions about specific DAs, please don't hesitate let me know and I will be happy to ask our census contacts to advise.

Census of Agriculture Response Rates
Question
An Economics student has asked me where to find the response rates for the 1986, 1991, and 1996 Censuses of Agriculture. Is this published somewhere, and if so, where?
Thanks for your help.
Answer
Our Census of Agriculture contacts have looked into your question and have located the following sources and information:
Catalogue no. 96-102 Census Canada 1986 Agriculture page xv
In 1986 Census, the non-response rate amounted to less than 0.5 per cent
Catalogue no. 93-350 Agricultural Profile of Canada Census 1991 pt. 1 page xxi
A response rate of over 98% also contributed to its overall success.
Catalogue no. 93-356-XPB Agricultural Profile of Canada Census 1996 page xix
A response rate of almost 99% also contributed to the overall success of the 1996 Census of Agriculture.
