Appendix 3 - Private Sector Data Sources

A list of the industries included and the sources of data follows.

Oil and Gas exploration: GDP data was developed using exploration expenditures provided by the Canada-Newfoundland Offshore Petroleum Board (CNOPB) and GDP data for "Service Industries Incidental to Mineral Extraction" from Statistics Canada. Employment data was provided by the CNOPB. Labour income was estimated by the Department of Finance using employment data and an estimate of average weekly earnings.

Oil and Gas Development: GDP data for 1997 (the most recent year available for nominal GDP data) was taken from Statistics Canada for the industry "Gas and Oil Facility Construction". The 1998 and 1999 data was developed using the 1997 data and development expenditures from CNOPB. Employment data was provided by the CNOPB. Labour income was estimated by the Department of Finance using employment data and an estimate of average annual earnings.

Oil and Gas Production: GDP data for 1997 was taken from Statistics Canada for the industry "Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries". The 1998 and 1999 data was developed using the 1997 data and estimates of value of production. Employment data was provided by the CNOPB.
