The monthly chain Fisher real dollar values (reference year 2007) for Canadian international merchandise trade are now available for September.

In addition, a new version of the software, X-12-ARIMA, is being used for seasonal adjustment.

The old CANSIM tables 228-0056 and 228-0057 were replaced by tables 228-0061 and 228-0062.
