'Capital Cost' in CANSIM

Question

I have a researcher asking the following question regarding the Cost of Capital:

“Table 383-0026 gives capital cost ($), annually, for manufacturing by province for 2005-2008. But for 2009 and 2010 it says "data not available". It's not suppressed for confidentiality, just not available. However, the same data for all of Canada is available in Table 383-0021, so obviously the underlying data does exist. Can I get the provincial data for 2009 and later?”

Any suggestions?

Answer

The subject matter analyst confirmed that the ‘table will be updated to 2013 in March 2015.’
