Products with limited international supply for Canada 

Following the outbreak of COVID-19, global supply chains are at the risk of major disruptions. This report provides a cursory analysis of products that have limited international supply for Canada. These products could be especially susceptible and may require extra attention from policy makers to ensure minimum operations and necessities. 

In 2019, Canada imported nearly 10 thousand unique products at the 10-digit level under the Harmonized System (HS) classification. However, due to Canada’s unique trading relationship with the United States and the integrated supply chains between the two countries, the U.S. consistently showed up as one of, if not the largest supplier for these products. Out of products with multiple suppliers, the U.S. was the top supplier for over 5000 products and had import shares of more than 90% in nearly a quarter of them. The other dominant supplier for Canada was China, which was not only the largest supplier for nearly 2000 products, but also had over 90% import share in 120 of them. Other major suppliers include Germany, Italy, and Mexico, where each country was the top supplier for approximately 200 products.

Indigenous-Owned Exporting Small and Medium Enterprises in Canada 

This report reviews of the characteristics of Indigenous small and medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in international trade, and identifies opportunities for enhanced federal policy and program design to support Indigenous business performance in international markets. Exporting is one of the main characteristics used to evaluate performance since businesses are confronted with numerous challenges when attempting to enter foreign markets. For Indigenous firms operating in a small open economy like Canada, internationalization can be an important strategy for business growth and success. This report is motivated by this growth strategy, to which many government departments contribute, as well as the participation and inclusion in international trade of all Canadian businesses for sustainable growth

Geographic Export Diversity

This study focuses on the diversity of merchandise and commercial services exports by destination. Export diversity is important to hedge against the risk of an economic downturn in partner economies, but it also helps to protect against the threat of trade protectionism. Protectionism is materializing across the world, not only through the United States imposing tariffs on imports of Canadian metal, but also in other events such as Brexit.

CETA Three Years on an Overview of Canada-EU Trade Performance

The Canada-European Union (EU) Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA or Agreement) is a comprehensive agreement that covers virtually all sectors and aspects of Canada-EU trade. The Agreement provisionally entered into force on September 21, 2017, and has eliminated or reduced barriers to trade, established and strengthened the trade rules that govern bilateral trade.

This report reviews the two partners’ trade performance three years after CETA provisionally came into effect. In particular, it compares trade performance in year 2016 (pre-CETA provisional application) with year 2019 (post-CETA provisional application and pre-COVID 19 pandemic). Where available, 2020 trade data has been included to provide a complete overview.

Canadian supply chain logistics vulnerability

In this study only merchandise trade will be considered. This is partly due to data constraints, and partly because most services, especially those that can be delivered digitally, are assumed to be minimally affected by transportation disruptions.Footnote1 For both imports (upstream supply) and exports (downstream demand), this paper uses a customs-basis Canadian merchandise trade dataset from Statistics Canada for 2019 at the most detailed level of Harmonized System (HS) available, i.e. 10-digit codes for imports and 8-digit codes for exports. This dataset contains five dimensions that are useful for the study of GVCs: country of origin/destination, province of origin/destination, product, mode of transportation, and port of entry/exit; although, for our purposes we drop the country and province dimension.

2020 Canadian export trends by size

The containment measures enacted to combat the COVID-19 pandemic was one of the factor that left heavy negative impacts on Canadian exports and other aspects of the Canadian economy in 2020. An interesting feature of the “COVID-19 downturn” is the exceptionally large month to month variation in economic and trade activity, especially in the first half of 2020. Early in the pandemic, both exports value and the number of exporting enterprises suffered greatly, declining 34% and 20%, respectively, between February and April. Starting in May, both exports value and the number of exporters started to recover at a fast pace, and the fast pace of the recovery continued throughout most of summer 2020. Beginning in the fall of 2020, the recovery in exports value and the number of exporters continued but at a slower pace. By the end of the year, exports value has almost reached pre-pandemic (February 2020) level but the number of exporters was still 3.5% below pre‑pandemic level.

Food Microbiology - Targeted Survey - Scientific Publication - Prevalence of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and Risk Characterization Based on Virulence Genes in Retail Raw Ground Meat of Beef, Veal, and Lamb in Canada - 2016 to 2021

Between 2016 and 2021, 2398 samples of raw ground beef, veal and lamb were collected at retail stores across Canada. Samples were tested for STEC O157 and non-O157 STEC. STEC O157 and non-O157 STEC were found in 0.1% (3/2398) and 6.0% (145/2398) of the ground meat samples respectively. The prevalence of STEC O157 in Canadian retail raw ground meat is low, similar to ground beef produced from processing facilities. All STEC virulence gene profiles were assessed using criteria of the FAO/WHO risk categories and the majority of the STEC strains were classified as belonging to risk level 5 which is the lowest risk level. This study indicates that the current food safety control measures implemented for ground meats in Canada are effective at maintaining an acceptable level of possible contamination with STEC strains associated with severe clinical outcomes.

Canada US Crop Field Trial Regions

There are fourteen major and four minor field trial regions in Canada and USA. Each of these regions recognizes physical characteristics, such as soils, and crops and climate, that make the region unique. The subzones address differences within a region, generally reflected in the types of crops grown in that region. The Canadian regions, as much as possible, correspond to the U.S. regions.  
  
  The trial regions contain number of field trials by specific crop.

Sealed Source Tracking System

The accompanying dataset contains all transactions catalogued in the Sealed Source Tracking System with annual updates. The SSTS is used in conjunction with the National Sealed Source Registry to track and report the movement of high- and very high-risk sealed sources within Canada. Sealed sources are radioactive nuclear substances that are encapsulated or bonded to a cover to prevent the loss of radioactive contents. Sealed sources are used in a variety of medical, industrial, commercial and academic and research applications. Categories of sealed sources range from 1 to 5, with 1 considered very high risk, and 5 considered very low risk. The dataset was generated by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) to produce the National Sealed Source Registry and Sealed Source Tracking System Annual Report, which is published on the CNSC’s website. The following data shows all transactions entered by CNSC licensees who are required to track their sealed source inventory.
