Introduction
About Industry Canada
Industry Canada works on a broad range of matters related to industry and technology, trade and commerce, science, consumer affairs, corporations and corporate securities, competition and restraint of trade, weights and measures, bankruptcy and insolvency, patents and copyright, investment, small business, and tourism.
The Department employs 5800 professionals across the country, including economists, engineers, scientists, commerce officers, inspectors, metrologists, statisticians, accountants and lawyers, supported by others carrying out corporate functions such as human resources and financial management, communications, and information management/information technology support.
Industry Canada strives to be a workplace for talented people guided by the values and ethics of the public service. The Department's culture supports employees' professional development and outstanding performance.
In addition to its headquarters and other offices in Ottawa, the Department has five regional offices (Pacific, Prairie and Northern, Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic), located in Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, Montréal and St. John's, respectively. The Department's regional presence also encompasses Federal Economic Development Initiative of Northern Ontario, 10 sub-offices and numerous district offices. Regional networks of staff (e.g., the Competition Bureau, Measurement Canada, the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy Canada, and Spectrum Management and Telecommunications) enable the Department to deliver distinct services to clients across Canada. Regional offices serve as both the focal point for the Department across large geographical areas and as the point of integration for diverse aspects of Industry Canada's business. The Department benefits from the contacts and networks established through its regional offices, which also, by virtue of their locations and through their systematic approach to collecting and analyzing information, provide senior management with timely and forward-looking strategic intelligence and knowledge.
