The outcome is decided by the quarter-over-quarter change in real GDP in the Gross domestic product, income and expenditure release by Statistics Canada, typically published at 7:30 AM CT on the last business day of the second month after the quarter. The outcome is Yes if that data shows two consecutive negative quarter-over-quarter readings by the end of Q3 2026, and No otherwise. Only the release named here counts. The outcome can resolve Yes early as soon as the second consecutive negative reading is published; otherwise it is determined when that release is published for Q3 2026, and if the release is delayed, resolution waits until it is published.
A recession is a broad and sustained decline in economic activity, and it is commonly identified by consecutive quarters of shrinking output. The measure is whether Canada enters a recession by Q3 2026, defined as two or more consecutive quarters in which real GDP contracts.
