It urges a comprehensive census of all distribution activities in Canada to inform studies of retail outlets, cash versus credit sales, consumer demand, and regional distribution. The Dominion Bureau of Statistics will survey manufacturing, wholesale and retail establishments in 1931, aiding advertising and pricing strategies. This data aims to boost efficiency, consumer welfare, and policy responses to distribution challenges.
