Insolvency statistics in Canada—First quarter of 2022 (br04630)

Some insolvency filings do not have an identifiable Economic Region. Previously, a process was used to redistribute these filings among Economic Regions. From 2022 onwards, filings with an unknown Economic Region will be reported as such. Note that in cases where there is a discrepancy between past reports, the most recent report is considered correct.
