Price Information
For Information onlyThis is an electronic survey example for information purposes only. This is not a working questionnaire.
Introduction
Purpose
The Apartment Building Construction Price Index (ABCPI) is a quarterly series measuring changes in contractors' selling prices of a representative apartment building.
The Non-Residential Building Construction Price Index (NRBCPI) is a quarterly series measuring changes in contractors' selling prices of non-residential building construction (i.e., commercial, industrial and institutional buildings).
Authority
This information is collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19. Completion of this questionnaire is a legal requirement under this Act.
Purpose
Data collected from this survey are used to produce two key measures of price change for the Canadian economy: the Industrial Product Price Index (IPPI) and the Raw Materials Price Index (RMPI). The IPPI measures price movements for products sold by manufacturers in Canada, and the RMPI measures price movements for raw materials purchased by manufacturers in Canada.
The products reported on this survey will be followed over time, and each month the price movements for these products are aggregated to produce the IPPI and the RMPI. Data for approximately 6,000 products are used to produce the IPPI and RMPI.
The IPPI and RMPI are used extensively by businesses for contract escalation and industry analysis. Statistics Canada uses these indexes to deflate current dollar values and derive estimates of real growth and productivity for the manufacturing sector.
Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.
Confidentiality
By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes.
Record linkage
