Note that Statistics Canada is moving to one release time, 8:30 a.m., for all data releases in The Daily. This will mean a change for the LFS and the CPI, which are currently released at 7:00 a.m. The change will be implemented with the release of LFS data starting in April 2012.

This report is for planning only. Some release dates may change. Each working day, The Daily is published on the Statistics Canada website (www.statcan.gc.ca). Release time is 8:30 a.m. Eastern, unless otherwise indicated. Contact 613-951-4636 or mediahotline@statcan.gc.ca for information.
