Released: 2020-04-30

The document Statistics Canada Data Strategy, Delivering insight through data for a better Canada, 2019 to 2022 provides a course of action for managing and leveraging the agency's data assets to ensure their optimal use and value while maintaining public trust. As Statistics Canada is the nation's trusted provider of high-quality data and information to support evidence-based policy and decision making, Statistics Canada's Data Strategy also naturally includes the agency's plan for providing support and data expertise to other government organizations (federal, provincial and territorial), non-governmental organizations, the private sector, academia, and other national and international communities.

The data strategy provides a roadmap for how Statistics Canada will continue to govern and manage its valuable data assets in alignment with our modernization agenda and outlines short-, medium- and long-term activities in nine key areas: governance, discovery, digitalization, stewardship, interoperability, management, resources, trust and leadership.
