Canadian Business Count by Revenue & non-academic patron

Question
I have had a request today from a member of the public (non-academic) looking for Canadian Business Count by Revenue. The closest publicly available data set that was located was the Business Counts by Employee Size: http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/170814/dq170814b-eng.htm

Would our non-academic client be able to request a custom tab for the “Business Counts by Revenue” through Statistics Canada? (He is happy to pay to get this data). Since this would be a non-DLI request, is there another Statistics Canada department or staff I can refer him to? Many thanks for your help!

Response
For custom request, I would advise them to contact Advisory services. They are able to determine if the request can be completed from a regional office or from subject matter division. Below is their contact information:
