In the context of the rapidly-evolving situation around the novel coronavirus (also known as COVID-19), Statistics Canada remains committed to providing Canadians with the information they need. The agency plans to continue releasing data from programs identified as 'mission-critical' to the proper functioning of the Government of Canada, and to the Canadian economy and society.
