Note: Caution is called for in interpreting the results for the most recent years, especially in the Montréal and Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine regions. The population estimates of Statistics Canada that are currently available for the years 2006 to 2011 are used as a denominator in the calculation of rates. Those estimates are based on the 2006 Census counts (adjusted for net census undercoverage); they will be revised in 2014 using the 2011 Census counts. Some findings may change as a result of those revisions.
1. Include births to mothers aged 14 and under.
