Volume 1: Beyond the Horizon: Canada's Interests and Future in Aerospace – November 2012

Note on data sources

Data in this volume come from multiple sources, including Statistics Canada, Industry Canada, the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and reports by various aerospace companies and by consulting firms such as Deloitte.

Unless otherwise indicated, figures in this volume apply exclusively to the aerospace sector as defined in this report, while figures in the companion volume apply exclusively to the space sector.

Some statistics only became available during the period the Review was under way, and may vary from numbers cited in the past that were produced using different methodologies. For example, new estimates of research and development spending and employment levels in the aerospace industry were generated in summer 2012 by Industry Canada on the basis of Statistics Canada data.
