Note to readers
Effective with this release, monthly estimates of GDP by industry include estimates of the licensed and unlicensed economic activities related to cannabis production, distribution and consumption for non-medical and medical use. This is reflected in the introduction of new industries in the agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting and retail sectors covering licensed and unlicensed activities back to the beginning of the current series in 1997.
In response, we have:
- Added 28 new series related to cannabis, starting as early as January 1997.
- Synchronized our extract to the latest revisions.
- Refurbished metadata on existing series.
Dataset properties:
- Framework: Canadian System of Macroeconomic Accounts
- Classification: NAICS Canada 2012
- Valuation: At basic prices
- Measurements:
- Millions of constant year-2012 Canadian dollars (Mil. 2012 CAD)
- Millions of chained year-2012 Canadian dollars (Mil. Ch. 2012 CAD)
- Adjustment: Seasonally adjusted at an annual rate (SAAR)
- Geo coverage: Country
- Native frequency: Monthly
- Start dates: Varied; mostly Jan 1997 or Jan 2007
The series reside in the historical catalog under (Canada » National Accounts » by Value Add » Monthly » 2012 prices » Chained prices | Constant prices) and include, for example:
- NAHBPTTAM.ICAN = National accounts: Production approach - Gross domestic product at basic prices - All industries [T001], (Mil. Ch. 2012 CAD, SAAR)
- NAHBPZCNBSAM.ICAN = Gross domestic product at basic prices - Cannabis sector [T021], (Mil. Ch. 2012 CAD, SAAR)
- NACBPTXCUAM.ICAN = Gross domestic product at basic prices - All industries excl. unlicensed cannabis sector [T024], (Mil. 2012 CAD, SAAR)
Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
Please be aware that
Although use of cannabis for non-medical purposes in Canada was legalized only in 2017, Statistics Canada has estimated its prior impact and revised the full history of pertinent series.
Gross domestic product for all industries (NAHBPTTAM.ICAN) experienced an upward level shift of 0.1% to 0.3%.
Individual industries were shifted by 15% to 35%, in particular: Agriculture; forestry; fishing and hunting [11], Crop and animal production [11A], Crop production [111], and Sales at miscellaneous store retailers [453]. (Cannabis was inserted into NAICS at two points: for production at branch 111C, and for sales at 453B.)
