Statistics Canada reports that Canada’s manufacturing sales rise for a fifth consecutive month in June. Manufacturing sales increase 0.1% to $78.8 billion, according to the agency’s monthly survey.
The data also shows broader activity in wholesale trade. Wholesale sales climb 2.8% to $92.5 billion in June. Business in Vancouver attributes the manufacturing gain to strength in specific subsectors, including chemicals and transportation equipment. Other outlets reflect the same headline result and month-to-month increase but provide limited additional detail. Overall, the reporting aligns on the direction of the change, the month, and the key figures from Statistics Canada, with emphasis on different aspects of the data—manufacturing versus wholesale and subsector drivers.
