Abstract:

Statistics Canada recently launched the Integrated Business Statistics Program (IBSP) project with the purpose of redesigning and integrating several annual and sub-annual business surveys.

This strategy consists of periodically producing estimates and quality indicators based on available data, both reported and imputed.

In this presentation, the proposed processing strategy will be described
