The Family History Library has only a few business records for Canada. The most helpful is:  

Finding Aid to the Hudson Bay Company Archives. (Family History Library film[http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=601669&disp=Microfilm+register%20%20&columns=*,0,0 1730847 and 1730848]). This is not a name index to the records but a description of the various series in the records.  

Personal names from some of these records are in:  

Briggs, Elizabeth, and Anne Morton. ''Biographical Resources at the Hudson’s Bay Company Archives''. Volume One. Winnipeg: Westgarth, 1996. (Family History Library book [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=780364&disp=Biographical+resources+at+the+Hudson%27s%20%20&columns=*,0,0 971 U33b] v. 1). This book describes microfilm and book sources and tells where to find them. It includes a glossary of terms, a bibliography, and an index. Pages 48 to 59 list more than 1,100 men associated with the North West Company before 1821. Pages 153 to 158 list persons associated with expeditions to the American Northwest (present Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon) from 1824 to 1829.
