As a starting point I’ve linked the StatCan release schedule which lists key indicators http://www.statcan.gc.ca/release-diffusion/2016-eng.pdf and our site for economic indicators http://www.statcan.gc.ca/dai-quo/economic_indicators-indicateurs_economiques-eng.htm. You’ll note there are several indicators that are not on the original list we discussed last week.
