For 100%, rounding to base 5.

For 20%, rounding to base 10 for weighted frequencies less than 10. Weighted frequencies over 10, rounding to base 5, (custom tabulations only).

For 100%, rounding to base 5.

For 20%, rounding to base 10 for weighted frequencies less than 10. Weighted frequencies over 10, rounding to base 5, (all tabulations).

Geographic areas < 50 for self-enumeration areas were suppressed. Geographic areas < 25 for canvasser areas were suppressed.

For products containing income characteristics, distributions or quantitative statistics, the threshold was 250.

Native's package, self-enumerated areas with native population count < 500 were suppressed; canvasser areas with native population count < 100 were suppressed.

All suppressed data were included in higher geographic levels.

Standard geographic areas with population count < 40 were suppressed. Non standard geographic areas with population count < 100 were suppressed.

For products containing income characteristics, distributions or quantitative statistics, the threshold was 250.

All suppressed data were included in higher geographic levels.

All standard and non-standard geographic areas with population count < 40 were suppressed.

For 100% data, the decision was based on population count.

For 20% data, the decision was based on non-institutional population estimates.

For products containing income characteristics, distributions or quantitative statistics, the threshold was 250.

All suppressed data were included in higher geographic levels.

All standard and non-standard geographic areas with population count < 40 were suppressed.

For 100% data, the decision was based on population count.

For 20% data, the number used was the lower of the 2A non-institutional population count or the 2B non-institutional population estimates.

For products containing POW geographic areas, population counts < 40 were suppressed. For POW flow tables, both residence and work suppression rules applied.

For products containing income characteristics, distributions or quantitative statistics, the threshold was 250.

For products containing 6-digit postal code the threshold was 100.

Suppression of data also occurs if and when certain questions are not asked of all respondents, such as on Indian reserves.

All suppressed data were included in higher geographic levels.

Custom tables involving industry, occupation or income, all cells < 25 were suppressed (set to 0).

Custom tables involving industry, occupation or income, all cells < 10 were suppressed (set to 0).

Income statistics based on cells < 10 were suppressed.

The standard deviation rule was established. If the standard deviation was equal to 0 indicating that all quantitative values were equal, then the statistic was suppressed.

For all quantitative variables, statistics are suppressed if the associated unrounded count used in calculating the statistic is less than the random rounding threshold which is 10 for all 2B products.
