Celebrating its tenth anniversary, the Frontier Centre for Public Policy, a non-partisan think tank, has published its updated Canadian Property Rights Index (CPRI) executive summary. Released July 17, the assessment aims to gauge the state of property rights across Canada, building on the inaugural index conducted in 2013.

The CPRI project is dedicated to evaluating the level of property rights protection within Canada’s provinces and territories.
