Statistics Canada was established to ensure that Canadians have access to a trusted source of statistics on Canada to meet their highest priority needs. Access to trusted statistical information underpins democratic societies, as it supports evidence-based decision-making in the public and private sectors, and informs debate on public policy issues.
What are we doing?
Statistics Canada administers the Statistics Act and the Corporations Returns Act under the authority of the Minister of Industry.
