Seafloor photographs, offshore Canada

Photographs of the seabed have been collected during marine expeditions of the Geological Survey of Canada Atlantic and Pacific for over 50 years. Typically, a sequence of 10 to 20 photos are taken at a single station as the vessel drifts with prevailing winds and currents and the camera is repeatedly lowered to and raised from the seafloor. The suite of photos from each station may best be considered a representative ensemble from the proximal area. Only in the more recent expeditions, where differential GPS and ultra-short baseline positioning is used in camera positioning, is the relative positional information given for each photo meaningful in interpreting the sequence as a transect. Reduced-scale, thumbnail photos are displayed for the sequence of photos taken at each station. Each photo is labelled with the expedition id, the station number and the photo number.

Seabed grain size analyses, offshore Canada

Grain size is the most fundamental physical property of sediment, and these data are widely used in a variety of applications in science. Marine expeditions of the Geological Survey of Canada have been collecting grain size information on seabed and sub-seabed samples for over 50 years. Results have been recorded at 5th phi midpoints since the early 1990's in contrast to the earlier full, half or quarter phi interval end point values. Users of high resolution data must note that the sum of %Silt and %Clay equals the total %Mud makeup and that %Gravel, %Sand, %Silt and %Clay sum to 100%. Summary statistics include percentages of gravel, sand, silt, clay and mud as well as mean, kurtosis, skewness and standard deviation. The quality of these data varies. Results should be used with some caution as they may not be fully representative of seabed grainsize, particularly in areas of sandy and coarser sediment (e.g., sand and mud can leak out of the sampler during recovery). Canada makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to the accuracy, usefulness, novelty, validity, scope, completeness or currency of the data and expressly disclaims any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose of the data. For the purpose of the web mapping service, grain size data are sorted by the expedition id. Coarse and detailed grain size distribution plots are shown when a point is chosen. If the sample contains more that one sub-sample ( e.g., as with a piston core sequence), the grain size plots are stacked in the display window from the top of the core downwards.

Radiocarbon dates, offshore Canada

Radiocarbon dates are derived from organic samples collected through marine and coastal expeditions of the Geological Survey of Canada Atlantic and Pacific. These efforts were conducted primarily to better understand the spatial and temporal coverage of sediments and seabed-fast marine ice during the last deglaciation. The quality of these data varies - ranging from imprecise bulk samples and more accurate AMS estimates derived from single shell fragments. These data are ordered in the menu in 1000 year divisions. By default, only conventional radiocarbon ages are displayed, and reservoir-corrected and measured ages are hidden.

Canadian National Marine Seismic Data Repository

The Geological Survey of Canada (Atlantic and Pacific) has collected marine survey field records on marine expeditions for over 50 years. This release makes available the results of an ongoing effort to scan and convert our inventory of analog marine survey field records (seismic, sidescan and sounder) to digital format. These records were scanned at 300 dpi and converted into JPEG2000 format. Typically, each of these files was between 1 to 2 gbyte in size before compression and compressed by a factor of 10:1. Empirical tests with a number of data sets suggest that there is minimal visual distortion of the scanned data at this level of compression. In this KML file, scanned data are available in a reduced-scale thumbnail format and a compressed full-resolution JPEG2000 format.

Pollution from wildfires Cumulative Effects products

The Regional Air Quality Deterministic Prediction System FireWork (RAQDPS-FW) carries out physics and chemistry calculations, including emissions from active wildfires, to arrive at deterministic predictions of chemical species concentration of interest to air quality, such as fine particulate matter PM2.5 (2.5 micrometers in diameter or less). Geographical coverage is Canada and the United States. Data is available at a horizontal resolution of 10 km. While the system encompasses more than 80 vertical levels, data is available only for the surface level. The products are presented as historical, annual or monthly, averages which highlight long-term trends in cumulative effects on the environment.

Departmental Results Framework indicators 2019-2020 Edition – Indicator 9: Percentage of services available online

Based on how the Treasury Board defines service, the CRA has established an inventory of services to Canadians. E-enablement refers to the rate at which those services in the inventory are available online for Canadians to self-serve. This indicator measures progress against the CRA’s digital strategy. This service initiative falls under the ministerial mandate priority and under the broader Government of Canada priority of an open and transparent government. 

Formula/calculation: Sum of each service e-enablement rate divided by 18 services. 

Measurement strategy: The percentage of the service’s activities that are completed online for each service, based on the number of the following applicable interaction points of the service (based on a Treasury Board Secretariat methodology): 
• account registration / enrolment 
• authentication 
• application 
• decision 
• issuance (final output) 
• issue resolution and feedback. 

Services included: 
1. T1 Income tax return filing 
2. Authorize a representative 
3. Goods and services tax (GST)/harmonized sales tax (HST) return filing 
4. GST/HST rulings 
5. T2 Corporation income tax return filing 
6. Excise duty/tax return filing 
7. Charity information return filing 
8. Partnership information return filing 
9. Canada Child Benefit (CCB) payments 
10. GST/ HST credit payments 
11. Children’s Special Allowances (CSA) payments 
12. Working Income Tax Benefit (WITB) advance payments 
13. Provincial and territorial tax credit payments 
14. Provincial and territorial child benefit program payments
15. Formal review request (Appeals) 
16. Trust income tax return filing 
17. Business Number (BN) registration 
18. Access to information and privacy 

Note: Income tax rulings is excluded from the results as it is not suitable for e-enablement.

Departmental Results Framework indicators 2019-2020 Edition – Indicator 7: Public Perception Index: service experience

The public perception index (PPI) is the combined rating from four questions from the Agency’s Annual Corporate Research (ACR), a public opinion research study that touches on service and Agency reputation and values indicators. The four questions that blend into the index are: How would you rate the overall performance of the Canada Revenue Agency; How would you rate the ease of understanding with respect to the information provided to taxpayers through tax forms and resources; How satisfied are you with the overall quality of the service you received when you contacted the Canada Revenue Agency by telephone on this most recent occasion; Did you get what you needed from the Canada Revenue Agency on this particular occasion? These indicators are found in the “core” ACR and asked every iteration. They are key indicators for the Agency’s reputation, provision of information, service interaction, and service success.

2019 to 2020 Fees Report

This report, which is tabled under section 20 of the Service Fees Act and section 4.2.8 of the Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities, contains information about the fees that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) had the authority to set in 2019–20.

Government of Canada departments may set fees for services, licences, permits, products, the use of facilities; for other authorizations of rights or privileges; or to recover, in whole or in part, costs incurred in relation to a regulatory scheme.

For reporting purposes, fees must be categorized under the following three fee setting mechanisms:

1.	Act, regulation or fees notice : An act of Parliament delegates the fee setting authority to a department, minister or Governor in Council.

2.	Contract : Ministers have the authority to enter into contracts, which are usually negotiated between the minister and an individual or organization, and which cover fees and other   terms and conditions. In some cases, that authority may also be provided by an act of Parliament.

3.	Market-rate or auction or both : The authority to set these fees is pursuant to an act of Parliament or regulation, and the minister, department or Governor in Council has no control over the fee amount.

This report contains information about all fees that are under the CRTC’s authority, including any that are collected by another department.

The information covers fees that are subject to the Service Fees Act.

For fees set by contract, fees set by market-rate, auction or both, the report provides totals only. For fees set by act, regulation or fees notice, it provides totals for fee groupings, as well as detailed information for each fee.

Although the fees that the CRTC charges under the Access to Information Act are subject to the Service Fees Act, they are not included in this report. Information on the CRTC’s access to information fees for 2019–20 can be found in our access to information report, which is posted on the CRTC’s website.
