Report on the second comprehensive review of the Market Basket Measure / by Samir Djidel, Burton Gustajtis, Andrew Heisz, Keith Lam, Isabelle Marchand and Sarah McDermott.: CS75-0002/2020-2E-PDF
"Statistics Canada and Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) have been conducting a comprehensive review of the Market Basket Measure (MBM) to ensure that the basket continues to reflect a modest, basic standard of living, that the costs of the contents of the basket in different geographical regions are estimated as precisely as possible, and that the income available to families to purchase the basket is appropriately defined and measured. The re-based MBM – referred to as the "2018-base MBM" – updates the existing 2008-base MBM developed between 2008 and 2010. This discussion paper is the final in a series of four papers which report on the progress of the review"--Page 3.
