We have attempted to identify Statistics Canada's planned activities vis a vis the Government of Canada's outcome areas. However, it must be noted that by its mandate and mission, the Department's activities span the entire spectrum of Canada's socio-economic society in order to inform policy makers, the business community and researchers and to illuminate the factors and trends underlying the dynamics of Canadian realities.
