Introduction

Purpose

The Monthly Retail Trade Survey collects sales and the number of retail locations by province and territory from a sample of retailers.

Confidentiality

Completion of this questionnaire is a requirement under the Statistics
Act. Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from publishing any statistics
which would divulge information relating to any identifiable business
without the previous written consent of the business. The data reported
on this questionnaire will be treated in strict confidence, used
exclusively for statistical purposes and published in aggregate form
only.

Data-sharing agreements

To avoid duplicating surveys and to ensure uniform statistics, Statistics
Canada enters into data sharing agreements with provincial and
territorial statistical agencies. Agreements exist under Section 11 of the
Statistics Act with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of
Alberta, Quebec, Ontario and the Yukon. Agreements exist under
Section 12 of the Statistics Act with the territorial statistical agencies of
the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Under Section 12, you may
refuse to share your information with any of the agencies listed by writing
a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician and returning it with the
completed questionnaire. All agreements require that the information you
provide be kept strictly confidential.

Security of emails and faxes

Statistics Canada advises you that there could be a risk of disclosure
during the facsimile or other electronic transmission. However, upon
receipt of your information, Statistics Canada will provide the level of
protection afforded all information collected under the authority of the
Statistics Act.
