Financial transaction report counts by postal code and activity sector

##Report Volume Data

The report counts in this data set are broken down by activity sector, report type, the year and month of receipt, and reporting entity location. 

The reporting entity location is represented by the forward sortation area (FSA) component of the Canadian postal code (i.e. the first three characters of the Canadian postal code, e.g. “K1P”) that designates the postal district where the reporting entity is located.

##Modernization of Reporting Forms

The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) is engaged in a multi-year initiative to implement important changes to its reporting forms. Part of this modernization now allows reporting entities to submit reports containing transactions from multiple locations, increasing efficiency and reducing burden. This will change how FINTRAC publishes statistics for reports that have been modernized. FINTRAC implemented the new Large Cash Transaction Report in October 2023. As such, reporting volume statistics for the Large Cash Transaction Report will be published at a national level for quarters 3 and 4 of 2023-2024 (from October to December, and January to March, respectively).

The publication of this dataset has been temporarily paused to accommodate the transition to new reporting forms. This transition is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the quality and consistency of the data we collect.

##Protecting the Identity of Reporting Entities

By law, FINTRAC must protect the identity of the persons and entities that are required to submit financial transaction reports to the Centre under the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act.  In keeping with this responsibility to protect information, FINTRAC cannot provide more specific geographic data than is contained in this data set. 

Whenever possible, the data set includes the full FSA to identify the location of reporting entities submitting reports to FINTRAC. However, in any case where a certain location contains fewer than five reporting entities, or fewer than five reports submitted, only partial characters of the FSA are shown. This means that certain FSAs may contain only one or two characters (e.g., K or K1) instead of the standard three characters (e.g., K1P). In rare cases, it was not possible to provide a reporting entity location or report count without risking revealing the identity of reporting entities in a given activity sector or identifying a specific report, and so the data is provided at a national level only.

All FSA levels are hierarchically inclusive. This means, for example, that the total number of report counts for K1 includes all reports submitted within all FSAs that start with K1 (i.e. K1A, K1B, K1C), including those that may not be visible because they include fewer than five reporting entities in a given activity sector.

Archived, Government of Canada Spend Data by Department

The Government of Canada Spend Data by Department dataset is a summary of procurement expenditure data by department. It is derived from expenditure data submitted annually from over 55 departments and agencies, and is grouped by commodity broken down by family, group, category and subcategory. The data covers about 95 per cent of government’s total expenditure on goods and services.

This dataset details the Spend Data from April 2010 through to March 2016, and was compiled through a collaboration of efforts from participating departments and agencies; however since 2017, Public Services and Procurement Canada no longer receives the information centrally, and is therefore unable to continue the publication of this dataset.

>**Note**: the framework used by the Government of Canada to classify commodities has evolved over time.  When comparing the breakout of expenditures as reported in this dataset vs those in the earlier [Archived, Government of Canada Spend Data](https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/078af0f7-4b15-455d-a466-db5c44409205) dataset, the totals reported across the commodity framework will at times be different for FY2010/2011, FY2011/2012, FY12/13 and FY2013/2014.  This is because the data specific to those fiscal years was re-calculated in FY2014/2015 for the release of this newer dataset (in January 2015), using the commodity reporting structure and organisation naming conventions that were current at that time.  The overall totals reported for each fiscal year and each department would have remained the same across both reporting frameworks.

Percentage of civilians in the Defence team who self-identify as a visible minority

National Defence should reflect the diversity of the country it defends.  A cornerstone of meeting this objective is the recruitment, promotion and retention of under-represented populations within the Defence Team, including Black, and other racialized employees. 

If the number of people who belong to a racialized group who are employed by the Defence Team remains static or is lower than the target, it would inform decision makers to undertake proactive programmes to improve recruitment, promotion and retention of people who belong to a racialized group in the Defence Team. Failure to achieve representation of racialized people could impact our ability to operate in an increasingly complex world. Further, the Defence Team must meet its legal obligations under the Employment Equity Act.

Indirectly, the indicator measures the attainability of employment for candidates from diverse groups, the inclusivity of the workplace, and the proactive practices that the department commits to in an effort to identify, remove and prevent barriers to a fulfilling employment experience.

Percentage of civilians in the Defence team who self-identify as a woman

The Department of National Defence (DND) is committed to leading the public service in gender balance. A cornerstone of this policy is the recruitment, promotion and retention of under-represented populations, including employees who identify as women. 

If the number of women employed by the Defence Team does not meet established targets, decision makers would know to undertake proactive programmes to increase the recruitment, promotion and retention of women in the Defence Team. Failure to achieve gender balance will limit the potential for positive cultural change and future operational effectiveness.

Indirectly, the indicator measures the attainability of employment for candidates from diverse groups, the inclusivity of the workplace, and the proactive practices that the department commits to in an effort to identify, remove and prevent barriers to a fulfilling employment experience.

Percentage of civilian employees who describe the workplace as psychologically healthy

The Departmental Results Framework (DRF) is the strategic view of Defence’s mandate, displaying its Core Responsibilities and key performance information. It represents the corporate framework used to demonstrate plans, achievements, expenditures and performance results. This helps Canadians and parliamentarians understand what we do, what we seek to achieve, and how we will determine if we have achieved it. This dataset presents DRF 3.2 entitled “The health and well-being of the Defence team is well supported” and its indicator (DRI) 3.2.4 entitled “% of civilian employees who describe the workplace as psychologically healthy”. 

The 2020 Public Service Employee Survey was conducted from November 30, 2020 to January 29, 2021. The survey was administered by Advanis, on behalf of the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer and Treasury Board of Canada. This comprehensive survey measured federal government employees’ opinions about their engagement, leadership, workforce, workplace, workplace well-being, compensation, diversity and inclusion, and the impacts of COVID-19. This dataset provides National Defence survey results for public service employees’ responses to Question 78 of the survey: “I would describe my workplace as being psychologically healthy.”

FSAP Chem TS - 2012-13 Coumarin in cinnamon and cinnamon-containing foods - TS020 - Open Data

The Food Safety Action Plan (FSAP) aims to modernize and enhance Canada's food safety system. As part of the FSAP enhanced surveillance initiative, targeted surveys are used to generate baseline data in order to evaluate various foods for specific hazards.
The main objectives of this targeted survey were to generate baseline surveillance data on the level of coumarin in cinnamon and cinnamon-containing products available on the Canadian retail market, and to compare the levels of coumarin detected with the results of the 2011-2012 FSAP Targeted Survey on coumarin.

Coumarin is a natural, fragrant compound found in plants such as cinnamon, tonka beans, and sweet clover. Coumarin was utilized as a flavouring agent in the food and perfume industry for many years until evidence related to its toxicological properties and potential adverse effects to the liver (which are based on model studies carried out on rats and dogs) led to its use in food being discontinued or banned in a number of countries, such as Canada and the United States. The direct addition of coumarin to food is not permitted in Canada. It is understood that low exposure to coumarin from natural sources is expected and not anticipated to represent a health risk.

The 2012-2013 coumarin survey targeted domestic and imported cinnamon and cinnamon-containing spice mixes. A total of 93 samples were collected from grocery and specialty stores in 11 Canadian cities between April 2012 and March 2013. All products sampled contained cinnamon in their list of ingredients. The samples collected included ground cinnamon and spice mixes.

Coumarin was detected in 100% of the survey samples. This is expected, as all products were known to contain cinnamon, and cinnamon is known to naturally contain low concentrations of coumarin. Unusually high concentrations of coumarin in a product may indicate that coumarin has been directly added to a product, and may highlight the need for more detailed follow-up. Elevated coumarin concentrations were not observed in any of the products tested in this survey. The highest concentration of coumarin was observed in a ground cinnamon sample (7621 ppm). None of the samples tested for the current survey contained levels of coumarin in excess of levels detected in samples analyzed in the 2011-2012 FSAP survey. Health Canada had indicated that the levels of coumarin observed in this previous survey would not pose an unacceptable concern to human health, therefore this opinion is applicable to the current survey results as well since lower coumarin levels were detected. No follow-up actions were deemed necessary.​
