as they are included in the multiple responses for each origin they reported. For example; a respondent who reported 'English and Scottish' would be included in the multiple responses for English and for Scottish. (2) This is a total population count. The sum of the ethnic groups in this table is greater than the total population count because a person may report more than one ethnic origin in the census. (3) The abbreviation 'n.i.e.' means 'not included elsewhere.' (4) The abbreviation 'n.o.s.' means 'not otherwise specified.' Sources: Statistics Canada; censuses of population; 2001 and 2006.
