Abstract:
|
The Statistics Canada Business Register has been recently redesigned and as part of the redesign a number of initiatives regarding frame improvement have been developed. This presentation will discuss improvements that were made in several areas. These include the birthing and deathing processes, the increased availability of administrative data, the industrial coding of units and improvements made to the automatic coding environment. Also the presentation will discuss the centralization of data, the process being put in place to adapt to survey needs and the new approach to update the frame. Finally, it will discuss how some data are being verified for consistency and how month to month changes to BR data are reported and monitored.
