Canadian Classification of Institutional Units and Sectors (CCIUS) 2012

S13 - General government

This sector consists of groups of resident institutional units classified by level of governments. Non-market, non-profit institutions (NPIs) that are controlled by government units are also classified to this sector and are imbedded under their respective level of government.
The sector does not include public corporations, even when all the equity of such corporations is owned by government units. Quasi-corporations that are owned and controlled by government units are not part of this sector. However, unincorporated enterprises owned by government units that are not quasi-corporations are part of the general government sector.
This sector includes the following levels of government in Canada: Federal, Provincial and Territorial, Local, Aboriginal general government, and Social security funds. The Aboriginal general government subsector represents First nations and other Aboriginal government institutional units. The NPIs are also embedded within each level of government.
