Our Values
Collaborative
We believe the most effective labour market information emerges through partnership across the ecosystem. We work with governments, researchers, practitioners, and organizations to connect expertise, align perspectives, and build shared solutions that strengthen Canada’s labour market information ecosystem. By bringing together diverse knowledge and capabilities, we help ensure labour market insights are more comprehensive, relevant, and impactful.
Integrity
We hold ourselves to the highest standards of rigour and objectivity in the information we produce. Our work is grounded in evidence, methodological transparency, and a commitment to providing reliable labour market information and analyses that Canadians can trust. We are committed to producing evidence that is credible, responsible, and trusted.
Transparency
We are open about how our work is conducted and how conclusions are reached. By clearly communicating our methods, assumptions, and findings, we enable others to understand, evaluate, and confidently use labour market information in their decisions. Transparency strengthens trust and ensures our work can meaningfully support evidence-based dialogue.
Curiosity
We approach our work with a spirit of inquiry and continuous learning. By asking new questions, exploring emerging data sources, and testing innovative approaches, we seek to deepen understanding of Canada’s evolving labour market and improve the information available to Canadians. We value thoughtful discourse debate, good questions, and evidence-based learning and investigate labour market challenges with humility and rigour, recognizing that no single dataset or perspective tells the full story.

Strategic Goals
LMIC enables a pan-Canadian labour market information ecosystem that responds to the needs of Canadians by helping them make better-informed decisions. To that end, the following strategic goals ensure LMIC continues to develop its role as key stakeholder and facilitator in the LMI ecosystem over the next five years:
Guide
LMI Systems
Ensure that the ecosystem responds to pan-Canadian LMI needs in an efficient manner.
We will act as a centre of innovation by testing and assessing new tools, techniques and channels to collect, analyze and disseminate labour market information. Broadly sharing our findings will support and improve the ecosystem’s ability to respond quickly and efficiently to the rapidly evolving LMI needs of Canadians.
We will work with others to identify and address LMI data gaps in the pan-Canadian ecosystem, with a focus on improving the timelines, localness and granularity of information and insights.
Enhance
LMI Practices
Promote benchmarks and guidelines to improve the quality and application of LMI.
We will research best practices related to LMI and work with partners and stakeholders to promote best practices for the production and delivery of LMI to improve accuracy and utility.
We will work with others to identify and address LMI data gaps in the pan-Canadian ecosystem, with a focus on improving the timelines, localness and granularity of information and insights.
Champion
LMI Access
Enable access and sharing of LMI data, knowledge and best practices.
We will work with partners and stakeholders to ensure Canadians have access to the full breadth and depth of high quality LMI. We will focus on improving timely access to LMI data and insights to intermediaries, stakeholders and governments.
We will ensure that intermediaries and other stakeholders have the knowledge and tools to enhance their ability to successfully support the labour market information decisions of Canadians.
