Request edit
This page needs to be updated, but to avoid any conflicts, we'd like to suggest edits rather than making any changes ourselves. Industry Canada has a new web site with updated information about:


 * Our organization
 * Our mandate
 * A comprehensive list of Departmental Legislation
 * Key topics covered by the department including: bankruptcy corporations financing import, export and foreign investment industries and business intellectual property and copyright internet, radio and wireless science and technology and weights and measures
 * A list of the 11 organizations that make up the Industry Portfolio
 * And the history of Industry Canada

For editors watching this page, can you please make some edits based on current info? Lee-Anne Peluk on behalf of Industry Canada Industry Canada - Industrie Canada (talk) 20:20, 2 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia relies on secondary sources, as oppose to the company website, for information. Also most of this is not something Wikipedia is generally interested in covering. CorporateM (Talk) 19:57, 13 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for responding, much appreciated. Would you be open to deleting erroneous information? There are several factual inaccuracies. I can provide sources for this information. I respect the rules and as an avid user of Wikipedia, I feel that removing ROT would improve what is currently posted. Lapeluk (talk) 21:47, 18 February 2013 (UTC)


 * ok, I'm new at this and I want to be helpful. I made three small edits and cited the sources. I do work for Industry Canada, but this is my own personal time. I have read and done my best to follow all of the guidelines. I hope someone will review and validate the work, as I have corrected inaccurate information.

Feedback for SiobHan
Hi Siobhan,

I have been reading your article lately and I really enjoyed reading your work. I think the content organization is easy in the eye and can talk to any type of readers. I like the idea of putting French translation of the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada so it shows that Canada is indeed a Bilingual country and also following the mandate of the Charter of Freedom in reference to the two official languages. The links which you provided were all working and relevant to the topic. However, I find the last paragraph of the introduction to be a duplication of the portfolio section. Probably, you can talk briefly the portfolio and that's it. Then just focus on the portfolio with the rest of the information you provided on your introduction. "These agencies include: the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions, Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency, Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario, Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario, and Western Economic Diversification Canada. " Since they are all present in the portfolio section, that way you might lessen the introduction. It looks crowded with information. "The Department of Trade and Commerce was created in statue on June 23rd, 1887. I am not sure if this is actually a statue like a piece of art or Statute which refers to law. This is just a minor issue, though. Other than this, good work! Wikimarkie (talk) 22:37, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
