Welcome to the Electronic Commerce Branch of Industry Canada

Canada is a world leader in the adoption, use and development of e-business. The Electronic Commerce Branch of Industry Canada aims to build on this foundation to support and facilitate continued growth of e-business in the Canadian economy.

We do this in the following ways:

• Building trust in the Digital Economy
• Clarifying marketplace rules, both domestically and internationally
• Removing barriers for the use of e-commerce, in conjunction with the private sector
• Benchmarking both firm-level and national performance in the digital economy.
