2023-24 Survey of Canadian businesses on privacy-related issues

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) commissioned Phoenix Strategic Perspectives (Phoenix SPI) to conduct quantitative research with Canadian businesses on privacy-related issues.

To address its information needs, the OPC conducts surveys with businesses every two years to inform and guide outreach efforts. The objectives of this research were to collect data on the type of privacy policies and practices businesses have in place; on businesses’ compliance with the law; and on businesses’ awareness and approaches to privacy protection. The findings will be used to help the OPC provide guidance to both individuals and organizations on privacy issues; and enhance its outreach efforts with small businesses, which can be an effective way to achieve positive change for privacy protection.

A 15-minute telephone survey was administered to 800 companies across Canada from November 21 to December 21, 2023. The target respondents were senior decision makers with responsibility and knowledge of their company’s privacy and security practices. Businesses were divided by size for sampling purposes: small (1-19 employees); medium (20-99 employees); and large (100+ employees). The results were weighted by size, sector and region using Statistics Canada data to ensure that they reflect the actual distribution of businesses in Canada. Based on a sample of this size, the results can be considered accurate to within ±3.5%, 19 times out of 20.

TOPIC Open - Literature Review Module

The **Traits of Plants in Canada (TOPIC) open access literature review module** provides access to an open dataset of data gathered from the scientific literature.

The **Traits of Plants in Canada (TOPIC)** database serves as a hub for centralizing knowledge on plant functional traits in Canada. Under the Canadian Trait Network, this database allows the integration of trait data from large, disconnected scientific sources to facilitate research on plant and forest ecology, community ecology and forest sustainability. Following international standards, the database ensures that the datasets are properly documented and archived, facilitating their re-use and discoverability.

Priority Entitlements

The Public Service Commission’s (PSC) Priority Entitlement Program supports the referral and placement of persons with a priority for appointment in the public service, as outlined in the *Public Service Employment Act* (PSEA) and the *Public Service Employment Regulations* (PSER). Under this legal framework, persons who meet specific conditions have a right, for a specified or indeterminate period of time, to be appointed to positions for which they are qualified.

Priority Administration data refers to information on the number of persons with a priority entitlement registered with the PSC, the number of placements of persons with a priority entitlement and the number of removals for other reasons, by priority type.

This information is taken from the PSC’s Priority Information Management System (PIMS). PIMS is the PSC’s web-based tool where organizations register their persons  who have a priority entitlement and that organizations must search while conducting an appointment process.

Employment Equity Designated Groups under the Public Service Employment Act

The Public Service Commission (PSC) collects data on individuals who apply through the Public Service Resourcing System (PSRS) for advertisements open to Canadians on the PSC’s jobs.gc.ca website. This enables the PSC to assess employment equity (EE) trends and performance regarding the share of external applicants of the following EE groups: Women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities.

Student hiring EE data for Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities are based on those who applied and self-declared through PSRS and where a match was found in the PSC hiring and staffing activities files covering the current fiscal year. Students hired under the Post-Secondary Recruitment (PSR) and Co-op/Internship (CO-OP) Programs are excluded. Data on women are derived from the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat Incumbent File.
