Miscellaneous goods and the building materials and supplies subsectors posted the largest declines.
The agency says sales fell in five of seven subsectors comprising more than three-quarters of total wholesale activity in Canada.
The miscellaneous subsector fell 3.4 per cent to $11.5 billion as the agricultural supplies industry dropped 13.6 per cent to $3.3 billion driven by lower imports of fertilizer from Russia. The building material and supplies subsector dropped 1.4 per cent to $14.0 billion in April as the lumber, millwork, hardware and other building supplies group fell 3.8 per cent to $7.5 billion.
Sales in the machinery, equipment and supplies subsector rose 1.8 per cent in April to $16.5 billion.This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 16, 2022.
