It is home to numerous lakes, wetlands and rivers, and several species unique to this area. Much of our work supports national priorities to protect and conserve the environment. We focus on weather prediction, clean air and water programs, species at risk and birds oiled at sea, environmental protection and pollution prevention, emergency response for coastal and offshore incidents, shellfish sanitation monitoring, environmental assessments and the preservation of important ecosystems, such as Sable Island.
The region is also home to the Canadian Hurricane Centre. The Quebec region covers approximately 1. OTTAWA—Meteorologists, scientists, chemists and engineers are among more than Environment Canada employees on the chopping block as the department launches sweeping cuts to cope with federal belt-tightening.
Grim-faced union representatives were given official word of the looming cutbacks Wednesday as Environment Canada officials grapple with orders to trim spending. Corbett said the job losses will badly hurt the ability of the science-based department to do its job on issues such as climate change, monitoring water and air quality and wildlife species.
But he highlighted the cut of 19 meteorologists — most of them in Ontario and the Prairies — at a time when concerns about extreme weather events are on the rise.
Corbett said he was surprised by the magnitude of the proposed reductions and is now trying to get details of the affected programs. In the absence of a standard classification, the environment industry consists of activities which produce goods and services to measure, prevent, limit, minimise or correct environmental damage to water, air and soil, as well as problems to waste, noise and eco-systems.
The industry also includes cleaner technologies, products and services that reduce environmental risk and minimise pollution and resource use. It is a census of all establishments operating in Canada that were involved either in whole or in part in the production of environmental goods, the provision of environmental services and the undertaking of environment-related construction activities. Detailed information about the Environment Industry Survey can be found in the Definitions, Data Sources and Methods section of the website.
The EIS currently collects data on total revenues, environmental revenues, specific types of environmental activities and environmental export revenues by region. Additional information on environmental revenues by type of clients and by customer location are also collected through the survey.
The integrated data are consequently used to profile the economic performance of the environment industry. An important aspect in the evaluation of the industry's performance is in the area of job creation and employment generation. Related to the challenges involved in classifying firms to the environment industry is the issue of identifying the employees who work in environment-related activities.
Currently, the published data on employment include only the total employment of those businesses producing environmental goods and services, i. This project aims to produce alternative measures of environmental employment by undertaking the following initiatives:.
Measures 1 and 2 cover environmental employment estimates for the business sector, as defined in the Environment Industry Survey. The coverage for measure 3 includes the business sector and limited research on the non-surveyed portion of the environment industry government, non-profit organizations, institutions. This project is a preliminary but critical step in the development of information about the environment industry and its place in the Canadian economy. Environment Canada is a very siloed work environment.
