Methodology
The value of building
permits is an important indicator for the construction industry
since the construction process begins with the issuing of a

The data provided by Statistics Canada is monthly and
deseasonalized; this eliminates the impact of seasonal variations
and makes it possible to compare data throughout the
year.
