The newest report from the Public Interest Network (PIN) of the Consumers Council of Canada focuses on consumers’ views about sustainability, safety and future needs.

The report is available in the Council’s online store. The Council uses online questionnaires directed to the PIN to help identify experiences and attitudes of consumers, and to help inform priorities for the Council. This questionnaire, conducted in February, revealed modestly negative views on sustainability and the ability to meet public needs over the past 12 months.

Participants were also asked about their assessment of the most important features for new houses, and for their views on what they expect to happen after the COVID pandemic has subsided.

The PIN is a national network of thoughtful, knowledgeable Canadian consumers organized by the Consumers Council of Canada. Joining the PIN is free for residents of Canada. Reports of prior PIN questionnaires dating back through 2020 are also available in the council’s online store.
