Re-development of the Business Register
The way business in Canada is done has undergone major changes since the mid-1980s when the original BR was implemented.
Technology has undergone change and STC has committed to removing the BR from the mainframe platform by 2008.
The rules and operational processes for updating units of the Register were too complex and the system was too inflexible to incorporate significant change.

Business Register – Overall Principals
• It is important to:• Have a good source of administrative data
• Ensure that the data is of the best possible quality
• Develop a relationship of trust with large businesses
• Automate the updates as much as possible • Standardize the procedures• Use accepted standards (geographic,
classification, etc)• Use the business register to supply frame to all
economic surveys (economy of scale and survey feedback)
