The Energy Technology and R&D database is divided into two parts:
1) Government Energy Technology R&D Budgets
Budgets are available for several R&D activities: conservation, fossil fuels, renewable energy, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion as well as power and storage technologies.

Abstract
This publication contains the following data: population estimates by age and sex for Canada, the provinces, territories, census divisions and census metropolitan areas;estimates by age, sex and marital status for the provinces and territories; and estimates of the number of census families for Canada, the provinces and territories, by type of family (husband-wife, lone-parent), size of family, age of children and age and sex of parents.
The estimates are based on the 1996 Census results, which have been adjusted for net census undercoverage. The publication also includes statistics for the demographic components that were used to produce the population estimates (births, deaths, marriages, divorces, immigration, total emigration, internal migrations and non-permanent residents) by age and sex. In addition, the publication contains highlights of current demographic trends and a description of the methodology.
The CD-ROM has a historical time series that includes population data from 1971 for provinces and territories, and from 1986 for census divisions and census metropolitan areas. The CD-ROM also includes animated age pyramids, which illustrate the aging of the population.
These time series can be easily captured and manipulated to create customized demographic analyses in any spreadsheet program. The population figures can be used to calculate per-capita rates for market research, quantitative analysis and planning.
Note:
The 2002 edition includes a time series for the 1971-2002 period along
with revisions to estimates for years 1998, 1999 and 2000 and 2001.

Abstract:
The 2001 Labour Force Historical Review is an easy-to-use tool that lets you discover labour market patterns or trends in seconds. This annual product is a comprehensive database of Labour Force Survey estimates, containing thousands of cross-classified data series and spanning over two decades from 1976 to 2001. Monthly and annual average series are available on a wide range of subjects, including labour force status by demographic, education and family characteristics, trends in the labour markets of metropolitan cities, economic regions, industry and occupation estimates and much more.
New to the 2001 edition are two seasonally
adjusted data tables: actual hours worked by industry for Canada (CD1T52sa)
and occupation for Canada (CD1T53sa). The occupation data has been revised
for the 1987 and 1999 period. In January 1999, the Labour Force Survey
converted to the 1991 Standard Occupational Classification System (SOC
91). Unfortunately, as a result of the conversion, data prior to and including
June 199 were not comparable with later information for some occupations.
To correct the problem, occupation data for 1987 to 1999 were revised and
have been replaced on the tables.
Canada Food Stats (2001)Abstract:

Labour Force Historical Review: 2000
Abstract:
Produced by Statistics Canada. The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a household survey carried out monthly by Statistics Canada. Since its inception in 1945, the objectives of the LFS have been to divide the working-age population into three mutually exclusive classifications - employed, unemployed, and not in the labour force - and to provide descriptive and explanatory data on each of these categories. Data from the survey provide information on major labour market trends such as shifts in employment across industrial sectors, hours worked, labour force participation and unemployment rates.The 2000 Labour Force Historical Review tables are extracted from the CD-ROM (71F0004XCB).The 2000 Labour Force Historical Review is an easy-to-use tool that lets you discover labour market patterns or trends in seconds. This annual product is a comprehensive database of Labour Force Survey estimates, containing thousands of cross-classified data series and spanning over two decades from 1976 to 2000. Monthly and annual average series are available on a wide range of subjects, including labour force status by demographic, education and family characteristics, trends in the labour markets of metropolitan cities, economic regions, industry and occupation estimates and much more.
A total of 21 new tables have been added to the 2000 edition. They include annual and monthly tables on hirings and separations, retirement age, labour force characteristics for rural and urban areas, wages of employees by job permanency and union coverage, weekly and hourly wage distributions and regional unemployment rates used by the Employment Insurance Program. Also added to most tables are a few new age groups: ages 25 years and over, 55 to 64 and 65 years and over. And, all tables now have full titles and stubs - there are no more abbreviations as in the previous editions.

This report identifies trends in land, water, and biological resources and commercial input use, reports on the condition of natural resources used in the agricultural sector, and describes and assesses public policies that affect conservation and environmental quality in agriculture. Combining data and information, this report examines the complex connections among farming practices, conservation, and the environment, which are increasingly important components in U.S. agriculture and farm policy. The report also examines the economic factors that affect resource use and estimates costs and benefits to farmers, consumers, and the government of meeting conservation and environmental goals. The report takes stock of how natural resources (land, water and biological resources) and commercial inputs (energy, nutrients, pesticides, seed and machinery) are used in the agricultural sector; shows how they contribute to environmental quality; and links use and quality to technological change, production practices, and farm programs.

It is with great pleasure that we welcome Susan Hook Czarnocki to the Electronic Data Resources Service (EDRS). Susan is joining the EDRS Team for the academic year 2001-2002. She will be working the equivalent of two days a week and will concentrate mainly on data support for faculty and students in the Faculty of Arts.Susan replaced Anastassia Khouri during her last sabbatical in 1999-2000. She was the McGill Official Representative for ICPSR during 1990-2000. She worked informally with student and faculty on data issues in addition to managing the Faculty of Arts Lab. In addition during her studies at McGill, she was Prof. T. Masi's teaching assistant for the course "Introduction to Statistics".
Susan brings EDRS a solid experience in Data. She has an MA in Sociology from McGill (1989) and her thesis "Attitudes Towards Desegregation in the United States 1964-1978," was an empirical study of ANES interview data in the US. She was the co-author of research published with Prof. Peta Tancred of the Department of Sociology.Susan's participation immediately permits us to open the EDRS Office five days a week from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. We will continue evening and weekend services by appointment only. For the first semester, she will be offering 4 introductory training sessions on SAS and SPSS software. We are planning for the second semester 4 more advanced sessions on SAS and SPSS.
This is a cooperative initiative between the Faculty of Arts and the McGill Libraries. We would like to thank Prof. Chris Ragan, Associate Dean, Resources and Technology for the financial support for this innovative cooperative effort.

What's New in the 1998 Edition
This version of Income Trends in Canada contains several new tables that were not available in the previous release. A smaller number of tables have also been deleted, but in almost all cases the information is still available: either some duplication has been eliminated (reducing the number of tables) or the information has been moved to a new section, “Background Tables”.
Other changes are as follows:
- Median income is provided for all the main income concepts.
- Earnings (Series 100) are now cross- classified by industry and occupation.
- Tables on income quintiles now show data adjusted for family size using an equivalence scale, in addition to unadjusted data.
- A new table in Series 700 shows Gini coefficients, which are useful as a measure of the degree of inequality in incomes.
- The tables in Series 800 on low income all have a dimension for after-tax income estimates, as well as those before tax. Several new tables in this series show data on low income by province and census metropolitan area (CMA).
- Two new tables show some longitudinal aspects of low income: year-to year transition rates and persistence of low income.
Tables showing income distributions now use a common set of income ranges.
