The July 2001 release of monthly gross domestic product (GDP) by industry introduced major classification and conceptual changes. The most important of these are: replacement of the 1980 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) with the 1997 North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS); rebasing from 1992 to 1997 prices, i.e., updating the price structure used to derive constant dollar GDP; a change in valuation from factor cost to basic prices; the capitalization of computer software. For more information, consult Appendix IIa of this publication.

The GDP of an industry is the value added by labour and capital in transforming inputs purchased from other industries into outputs. The estimates presented here are seasonally adjusted at annual rates and are valued at 1997 prices.

This issue of 15-001-XIE contains revised estimates of Gross Domestic Product by industry back to January 2001.

All current and historical statistics on Gross Domestic Product (Table Nos. 3790017-3790022), as well as many other series are available to the public from Statistics Canada's computerized data bank CANSIM II (Canadian Socio-Economic Information Management System) via terminal, on computer printouts, or in machine readable form.
