"Statistics Canada Data Viewer"

Question
At the Ontario DLI meeting in December, representatives from STC mentioned the ongoing vendor-driven development of a Statistics Canada Data Viewer. Do you have an idea of what the timelines for this product look like? I imagine a lot of it will be dependent on the release of the data products through 2017, of course, but even a season/year (e.g., Fall/2017) would be good to know.

Answer
We are working closely with a contractor now and hope to have something available in the late summer/early fall of 2017. I will be able to provide an more accurate schedule in a couple of months.
