March ‌27 (Reuters) - Canadian ​wholesale ​trade most likely rose ‌2.3% in February ⁠from January, largely ‌driven by higher ‌sales in the motor vehicle and ​motor vehicle parts and accessories ⁠subsector, Statistics Canada said in ​a flash estimate on Friday.

The estimate ​was calculated ‌based on a weighted response ⁠rate of 72.0%. The average ⁠weighted response rate for ​the survey over the previous 12 months has ‌been 82.2%.
