Primary data sources of the PTCI include the Supply and Use Tables (SUTs), estimates of GDP and output from the Provincial and Territorial Economic Accounts and the Canadian Productivity Accounts (CPA).
The SUTs consist of tables which detail the products produced and consumed by various industries and final consumers in Canada. SUTs are available annually at the national, provincial and territorial level and are produced in current dollars at basic prices.
The Provincial and Territorial Economic Accounts (PTEA) provide detailed information on GDP and output by industry for every province and territory. The PTEA provide annual provincial and territorial data in nominal and real terms, however, only those in nominal terms are used in building the PTCI. The PTEA are used to produce PTCI estimates of GDP and output in years where published SUTs are not available.
The CPA provide estimates of labour productivity and related variables such as number of jobs, hours worked, labour compensation and unit labour costs. National and provincial estimates are available. The CPA are used to produce PTCI estimates of the number of jobs for all years.
Survey data on services industries, administrative tax data on non-profit industries serving households as well as other internal CSMA data are used as secondary sources where necessary and to evaluate the quality of the estimates. They may also provide more detailed information on an industry or product in cases where CSMA data is only available at an aggregate level.
