Published issuer series; native reference periods are retained. Missing observations remain missing. GDP measures economy-wide output; business-sector productivity and hours have a narrower boundary. Chained-dollar components are not generally additive. An index of hours is not a number of workers. Exact issuer dimensions: Geography: Canada; Sector: Business sector; Labour productivity measures and related measures: Labour productivity.
Countability page snapshot: 2026-11-11. Issuer observations retain their published precision after conversion to the stated base units; no interpolation or missing-value replacement.
