How will the information be used – who will use the survey results?
Statistics Canada’s business surveys provide both the private and public sectors with vital information that is used in their decision making processes. Many businesses and organizations need accurate information to track growth and changes in this industry. Industry associations, business analysts and investors use the data to better understand rapidly evolving business environments, such as new technologies and trade opportunities as well as investments in new product lines. Individual Businesses use the information to monitor their performance against industry averages. Schools and universities use survey results to study the economy. Governments need the information to make decisions about labour and fiscal policies and business assistance programs for industries.
