Getting Started

Why do we conduct this survey?

The data collected by this survey will be used to produce indexes showing changes over time in the prices of various consulting services. These data will allow Statistics Canada to produce estimates of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the consulting industry as well as estimates of productivity change. Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Purpose

The purpose of this survey is to measure the price change of management, environmental, and scientific and technical consulting services on a quarterly basis.

Note to Readers:
Following the release of data for the fourth reference quarter of 2022, the Consulting Services Price Indexes (COSPI) has been suspended. A review of the program methodology is underway to ensure the indexes are relevant to our users.

The survey has been temporarily suspended during a redesign and data won't be released until its completion. For more information, please contact us at: infostats@statcan.gc.ca
