Totals, all industries, employment size 'Total'. Statistics Canada warns that Business Counts are not a time series: changes can reflect register updates, not only openings and closures. December 2021 (table 33-10-0495-01) and sector detail before 2026: not found (geography codes in the 2021 table use 2016 boundaries and could not be matched from our build server). Tables: 33-10-0808-01 (December 2023) · 33-10-1176-01 (January 2026 (June 2026 release)) · 33-10-0495-01 (December 2021). Neighbour business counts: not included in this release.
