The Canadian Chamber of Commerce’s Business Data Lab and its newly launched tool, the Business Conditions Terminal, have garnered some attention in the media.

The esteemed journalist from Th Globe and Mail, David Parkinson, featured this unique tool in a compelling new article, titled “Canadian Chamber of Commerce has a new tool to ‘democratize data’ – and it’s pretty good“. The piece sheds light on the Chamber’s mission to “democratize data” in Canada and highlights the impressive capabilities of the newly launched online tool.

The Business Conditions Terminal, unveiled in April 2023, serves as a comprehensive hub for Canadian economic statistics relevant to businesses in our country. With over 2,200 statistical series from 30 data providers, this platform is an invaluable resource. It offers interactive graphs, charts, and subcategories to help users navigate and analyze the data effectively.

In this interview with The Globe and Mail, Stephen Tapp, the Chamber’s Chief Economist, emphasizes the tool’s accessibility and usefulness, especially for the Chamber’s 200,000 members and Canadian businesses at large. The goal is to provide cost-effective data and intelligence to assist companies in understanding and thriving within the economic and financial conditions they operate in. This initiative is a significant step towards addressing the data gap that exists in Canada, which has been a pressing concern for businesses, particularly in light of the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
