(a)
2007 for Canada, 2009 for the United States.
Note: The data for the Canadian territories (Yukon and Northwest Territories including Nunavut) concern five-year periods (1980–1984, 1990–1994 and 2000–2004) because of their small size. The data for the US states concern three-year periods centred on the census years (1980, 1990 and 2000).
