The statistics presented in this Service bulletin are derived from Statistics Canada’s latest survey of industrial R&D activities in Canada. The survey reports on the R&D spending intentions for 1999, the estimates for 1998 and the actual expenditures for 1997 of corporations performing R&D activities in Canada. In 1997, a decision was made to eliminate the short survey forms in favor of administrative data, in order to reduce the response burden.
R&D statistics are provided for 46 industries falling under 6 sub-groups: Agriculture, fishing and logging; Mining and oil wells; Manufacturing; Construction; Utilities; and Services industries. The industry breakdown is in accordance with the 1980 Standard Industrial Classification.
