Every figure, with its source

One row per published figure: the figure as the source's own page publishes it, the page, and the day it was read. A figure that is not on a page we read is not on this one.

The sentence each figure was read from (38)

Read in full, publishes no figure

10 named sources were read in full on the dates shown and print no usable figure. They are counted, never filled in.

Methodology

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).

8 of the 18 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 10 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.

The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in CAD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 31 figures, never sentences; 45 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the EMPLOYER's side of the table, which no authority publishes as one figure: the CRA states the employee rate and maximum and leaves the employer to infer its own (identical for CPP, 1.4 times for EI), and Revenu Québec publishes a different set again; this dataset holds one row per contribution per year per regime with the employer's own rate, ceiling and maximum, and the derivation across them is the TOTAL statutory cost of one employee at any salary and the marginal cost of the next dollar - plus the Quebec-versus-rest-of-Canada difference at the same salary, which is a number an employer choosing where to hire actually wants

45 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
