2. An active statistical establishment is one production entity or the smallest grouping of production entities which produces as homogeneous a set of goods and/or services as possible, which does not cross provincial boundaries, and for which records provide data on the value of output together with the cost of principal intermediate inputs used and cost and quantity of labour resources used to produce the output. For-profit establishments are defined as those which operate primarily for the sale of objects exhibited or as profit-making endeavours. Not-for-profit establishments exclude those which operate primarily for the sale of objects exhibited or as profit-making endeavours.
