Statistics Canada is conducting a new survey on behalf of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) called the Municipal Land Use and Regulation survey which will measure the degree of local land use restrictions across municipalities in Canada.

Survey data will be used to create an index of Land Use Regulation. This index will serve as a ranking system for municipalities on planning policies that could potentially incent the provision of affordable housing.

In addition, the data will be used by CMHC as an empirical basis for promoting policies aimed at increasing affordability and inclusion in the housing supply as part of their 2030 vision for creating affordable housing.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes. In addition, information from partially completed or unsaved questionnaires may be retained and used.

Collection periods:
From January 16, 2023 to April 21, 2023
Collection methods:
Electronic questionnaire or telephone interview
