CANSIM II
Statistics Canada's prime source for disseminating a wealth of up-to-date socio-economic data has a dynamic new version - CANSIM II. Since 1969, CANSIM (the Canadian Socio-economic Information Management database) has been a point of access for tracking trends in virtually every aspect of Canadian life, from demographics to manufacturing to international trade.
CANSIM II offers the same authoritative data, but with major improvements over its predecessor. These include: multi-dimensional access to make finding information easier than ever; a new user-friendly format with improved labels, terminology and footnotes; and exhaustive data not previously found in CANSIM on a wide range of topics. You can search for data by theme, keyword, table number or series number.
CANSIM II contains more than 1.3 million individual data time series. Data are updated on the day that new values for these series are released.
For an introductory period, Daily releases will refer both to CANSIM matrix numbers and to the new CANSIM II table numbers. The two systems provide access to the same data, but differ in presentation, flexibility and ease of use.
Real-time access to this time-saving, flexible databank is now available on-line at http://cansim2.statcan.ca. For more information, contact Louis Boucher (613-951-8906; louis.boucher@statcan.gc.ca).
