A guide to the new disaggregated data questionnaire for drug submissions 

Health Canada uses disaggregated data to analyze the safety and efficacy of health products. The collection and analysis of disaggregated data in clinical trials is key to scientific rigour. This data: confirms that the diversity of clinical trial participants reflects the population groups that will use the product , and is used by sponsors and Health Canada to look at a drug’s safety and efficacy by subpopulation, where feasible. The data may also indicate if we need to verify a product’s safety or efficacy in certain populations through post-market monitoring.

JustFacts: Sentencing in Adult Criminal Courts in Canada in 2020–2021

This fact sheet is based on publicly available data from Statistics Canada. It examines data from 
2020–2021 ─ the first year following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. At that time, public 
health measures were put into place, which temporarily closed, postponed and/or restricted 
Canadian court proceedings. As a result, there was an unprecedented decline in the number of 
adult court cases, particularly in the first few months of 2020. It is important to keep this context 
in mind when interpreting the data in this fact sheet.

JustFacts: Victims of Hate Crime, 2015-2021

Data in this fact sheet are from the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey (UCR) and the 2019 General Social

police-reported crime and the GSS on Victimization collects self-reported data on victimization from 
those aged 15 years and older living in the provinces and territories.

This fact sheet focuses on police-reported hate crime and, primarily, violent hate crime.2 A hate crime is 
defined in the UCR as a criminal violation motivated by hate, based on race, national or ethnic origin, 
language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity or 
expression, or any other similar factor. Victims are only identified in the UCR where there is a violent 
offence.

Lake Superior Canadian Baseline Coastal Habitat Survey

Habitat and ecosystem data used to conduct a baseline survey of coastal habitat in Lake Superior, Nipigon Bay, and Black Bay are included in this dataset. The Lake Superior Survey methodology consists of four general steps; 1) delineating the coastal ecosystem into coastal units based on water flow, ecology, and geology; 2) selecting key habitat types including wetlands, uplands (natural and anthropogenic), tributaries, and inland lakes and ponds, and the measures to assess each habitat type and the entire coastal ecosystem; 3) conducting a spatial analysis and summarizing results; and 4) sharing results.

Global Trends in Conserved Areas

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Global Trends in Conserved Areas indicator reports the amount and percentage of global terrestrial and marine area conserved for the preservation of nature. The indicator also shows a comparison of area protected among 10 selected countries. Global information on protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures is collected, analyzed and made available by the World Database on Protected Areas and the World Database on Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures. Land and/or water access and use within protected areas are controlled primarily for the purpose of conserving nature (for example, a park, a conservation area or a wildlife reserve). Other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) are also managed in ways that achieve positive and sustained long-term outcomes for the conservation of biodiversity, regardless of their stated objectives. Conserved areas (protected areas and OECMs) are key management tools used for the preservation of biodiversity. Well-managed conserved areas are one way to protect wild species and their habitats for present and future generations. Habitat conservation is a measure of human response to the loss of biodiversity and natural habitat. Information is provided to Canadians in a number of formats including: static and interactive maps, charts and graphs, HTML and CSV data tables and downloadable reports. See the supplementary documentation for the data sources and details on how the data were collected and how the indicator was calculated.

Assessing potential toxicity of lead from recreational fishing activities from lead sinkers and jigs in the aquatic environment: Environmental fate, disposition and tissue accumulation

This study is focused on measuring lead in environmental matrices (surface water, sediment and tissues of recreational fish species) at locations known for high levels of recreational fishing activities (i.e. locations with high uses of lead in fishing sinkers and jigs) to determine the fate and bioaccumulation of lead in the aquatic environment.

The Chemicals Management Plan (CMP) is a Government of Canada initiative aimed at reducing the risks posed by chemicals to Canadians and their environment. A key element of the Chemicals Management Plan is the monitoring and surveillance of levels of harmful chemicals in Canadians and their environment. Monitoring and surveillance are essential to identify and track exposure to hazards in the environment and associated health implications. Monitoring and surveillance programs provide the basis for making sound and effective public health and environmental health policies and interventions, as well as measuring the efficacy of control measures. 


In support of the Chemicals Management Plan, monitoring and surveillance initiatives were established to support Health Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada scientists, in collaboration with external partners and researchers, to advance our knowledge. This initiative has allowed the Government of Canada to increase its commitment to a number of existing monitoring initiatives, as well as to support new efforts.

The influence of nanomaterial shape in aquatic nanoecotoxicology

As part of the research program on the aquatic ecotoxicology of nanomaterials, a study was carried out using the invertebrate Hydra vulgaris in order to determine the influence that the shape of nanoparticles (sphere, cube and prism) have on the toxic potential of silver nanoparticles. The selection of nanoparticles of similar size and identical surface properties (polyvinylpyrrolidone) allowed to highlight the effects related to the geometrical shape. This study also contributes to the expansion of knowledge on the toxic effects of nanoparticles in relation to their geometry—a topic that has very little examination in aquatic ecotoxicology.


All data are a part subject of a publication containing method details, full QA/QC, interpretation and conclusions. Citation: Auclair J, Gagné F. Shape-Dependent Toxicity of Silver Nanoparticles on Freshwater Cnidarians. Nanomaterials. 2022; 12(18):3107. doi.org/10.3390/nano12183107
