Industry Canada helps make Canadian industry more productive and competitive in the global economy, thus improving the economic and social well-being of Canadians by working with Canadians throughout the economy, and in all parts of the country, to improve conditions for investment, improve Canada's innovation performance, increase Canada's share of global trade and build an efficient and competitive marketplace.

This includes managing Canada's airwaves and overseeing its bankruptcy, incorporation, intellectual property and measurement systems; providing financing and industry research tools to help businesses develop, import and export; encouraging scientific research; and protecting and promoting the interests of Canadian consumers.

On Industry Canada's Acts and Regulations page you will find information regarding Acts and Regulations associated with Industry Canada, new service standards for high-volume regulatory authorizations and other useful links and measures to improve the transparency and predictability of the federal regulatory system for Canadians and businesses.
