GDP for CMAs

Question

I have a faculty member looking for GDP for Vancouver and Winnipeg. I think this would be available from the Conference Board of Canada and a substantial cost, but is it lurking somewhere beyond my reach in a CANSIM table?

Answer

Stats Can does not compute any GDP for cities or sub-provincial regions.

As far as I know, the only place where you can find GDP for regions/cities is at the Conference Board, though I am not aware of their methodology.

Also, the Institut de la statistique du Quebec is currently developing a methodology to calculate GDP by administrative regions (there are 13 administrative regions in Quebec) and they already have put some numbers on their website. It is still experimental though, and they plan to reveal final numbers as well as their methodology in 2006 (according to their website).
