An establishment operating in more than one
province is classed to a size according to its
employment total for Canada, not for an area in a
specific province. Thus the establishment classed
as 500 in this chart really means there is an
establishment operating in this region of New
Brunswick whose Canadian employment is 500 even
if it may employ fewer than 500 in this
Enterprise region.
