Permanent consultation process for classifications

Statistics Canada is now inviting data producers and data users, representatives of business associations, government bodies at the federal, provincial, and local levels, academics and researchers and all other interested parties to submit proposals for the revision of our major statistical classifications on a permanent basis. There will be no rigid consultation period anymore. Only a cut-off date for considering proposed changes to be included in a new version of the classification is being instituted moving forward. This was started for NAICS Canada and NAPCS Canada for 2027 and beyond. The permanent consultation principle will be applied gradually to our other statistical classifications, as needed.
