Departmental Deposit Facilities

The Department of Public Services and Procurement Canada, in its role as Receiver General for Canada (RG), is responsible for the management and safeguarding of all federal government money.  
Many departments accept payments, and are required by legislation to ensure funds are deposited into the central Consolidated Revenue Fund at the Bank of Canada as quickly as possible. Departments work in conjunction with the Receiver General to establish appropriate banking facilities for their lines of business. Deposit facilities can include deposit accounts at nearby financial institution branches, credit card acceptance capabilities and online payment acceptance among others. Note that banking facilities can be established in both foreign and domestic locations. 
This dataset entitled “Departmental Deposit Facilities” provides details, extracted from the Government Banking System, of the banking facilities established by the Receiver General for federal departments.  

Updates will be posted quarterly.

Seasonal temperature and salinity of Petite baie Saint-Nicolas (Godbout) in Gulf of St Lawrence from August 2019 to October 2021

This data report provides information on temperature and salinity in the Godbout region of the St. Lawrence Estuary. Sampling was carried out from 2019 to 2021 over an area of <5 km2. The databases provide information on temperature and salinity at an hourly rate for 2 years.  

The aim of this project is to analyze telemetry data from sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis), snow crabs (Chionoecetes opilio), rock crabs (Cancer irroratus), spider crabs (Hyas spp.) and whelks (Buccinum undatum). This report focuses on the presentation of benthic environmental data collected throughout the study with high spatial and temporal resolution.  All reported variables were collected at the seafloor, as the aim of the project was to study the movement of epibenthic species. 

Temperature data were collected from three devices: telemetry receivers with integrated temperature sensors (InnovaseaTM), HoboTM and Star-OddiTM probes. Temperature data processing involved cleaning up extreme values (below 2°C and above 20°C) and homogenizing the data to fit the bathymetry matrix (1m x 1m cells) of the study site. Temperature data are provided in a NetCDF file with a matrix of the entire study site, where there is a stratum for each hour between August 2019 and October 2021 and in each file, a temperature value for each pixel of the raster.  

Salinity data were collected from Star-OddiTM probes only. Salinity values were averaged hourly for the entire study area. Salinity data is provided as a CSV file with one salinity value per hour for the entire study area.

Job Postings Advertised on Canada's National Job Bank Website

Job Bank receives and displays job postings in two main ways. The first method is through employers who create an account and advertise jobs directly on Job Bank's website. Job postings advertised directly on Job Bank include information such as the job title, codes from the National Occupational Classification (NOC) and the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), work location, number of vacancies, salary and benefits, hours of work, job requirements, and employment terms. 

The second method is through external contributors, who are private and provincial job boards which Job Bank has agreements with. Job Bank displays job postings meeting specific eligibility criteria that are shared by external contributors through XML feeds. Job postings received from external contributors include information such as the job title, code from the NOC, work location, salary, hours of work, and employment terms. A cell containing NA indicates that the information was not available.

Electricity – Imports and Exports

Companies importing and exporting electricity hold regulatory authorization from the CER and are required to report their export/import activities each month. 
Generated electricity not consumed domestically is exported. Electricity trade with United States is affected by prices, weather, power-line infrastructure and regional supply and demand. All these cause trade to vary from year to year. Canada also imports some electricity from the United States. The integrated Canada-US power grid allows for bi-directional flows to help meet fluctuating regional supply and demand.
This dataset provides historical import and export volumes, values, and prices (by year and month) broken out by source and destination.

B.C. Housing Affordability

Note: the best method to download the .csv file is to right click on the ‘Access/Download’ link on the box to the right, and then select ‘Save link as’ to download the .csv file directly. This data provides a quarterly overview of housing affordability for homeowners in B.C. and in its major cities (census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations). Housing affordability is measured using the Mortgage Payment Percent of Income (MPPI) which is calculated every quarter based on: • A hypothetical new home buyer earning the median after-tax income for the quarter • The median home sale price in a region • A 25-year variable-rate mortgage • The minimum down payment • The mortgage rate set at the average quarterly prime interest rate By combining home prices, income levels, and mortgage rates, the MPPI produces a full picture of housing affordability over time. A higher MPPI means it is less affordable to buy a home.

BC Sub-Provincial Population Estimates and Projections

Sub-provincial population estimates and projections by age and gender for a variety of region types. Customizable breakdowns for counts and additional statistics are available via [BC Stats' Population App](https://bcstats.shinyapps.io/popApp/). Estimates: A population estimate is a measure of the current or historical population. BC Stats annually releases total population estimates for sub-provincial region types. These estimates are consistent in aggregate with the July 1st provincial level estimates produced by Statistics Canada. More information can be found on BC Stats' [Population Estimates page](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content?id=36D1A7A4BEE248598281824C13CB65B6). Projections: A population projection is a forecast of future population growth. BC Stats applies the Component/Cohort-Survival method to project the population. This method "grows" the population from the latest base year estimate by forecasting births, deaths and migration by age. These forecasts are based on past trends modified to account for possible future changes and, consequently, should be viewed as only one possible scenario of future population. Projections are also released annually and are as of July 1st. The methodological document, [P.E.O.P.L.E. Sub-provincial Population Projections: Methodology and Assumptions](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/data/statistics/people-population-community/population/people_2024_methodology_and_assumptions.pdf), is provided only for reference.
