Survey on Financing and Growth of Small and Medium Enterprises

Question

Are there any data publicly available from Survey on Financing and Growth of Small and Medium Enterprises? The data is supposed to be released in Fall 2015, can we find out what product is expected to be released?

Answer

I do not see any standard tables on the statcan website. I noted on the survey page that Statistics Canada is conducting this survey on behalf of a consortium led by Industry Canada. The data obtained from this survey will be used by both the public and private sectors. Industry Canada will use this information to study the availability of financing to SMEs and to recommend policy changes to assist businesses.
