Quarterly results from the Business Outlook Survey (BOS) are based on interviews with about 15 firms in the Atlantic region, 20 in Quebec, 25 in Ontario, 20 in the Prairies region and 20 in British Columbia and Yukon. This page presents BOS data for each of these regions. For more information, see the backgrounder.
Regions are identified by province or defined as follows: the Atlantic region includes Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick; the Prairies region includes Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories; and the British Columbia region includes the province of British Columbia and the territory of Yukon. Because the responses are presented here as four-quarter moving averages, these charts may not show the same movements as the aggregate BOS data published each quarter.
