Starting with the October 2006 Consumer Price Index (CPI), Statistics Canada produces and disseminates the Core CPI as defined by the Bank of Canada.

The measure of Core CPI excludes from the All-items CPI the effect of changes in indirect taxes and eight of the most volatile components: fruit, fruit preparations and nuts; vegetables and vegetable preparations; mortgage interest cost; natural gas; fuel oil and other fuel; gasoline; inter-city transportation; and tobacco products and smokers’ supplies. For additional information on Core CPI, please consult the Bank of Canada Web site. http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/inflation/index.htm.

Statistics Canada also calculates, on behalf of the Bank of Canada, a seasonally adjusted Core CPI. This series is available through CANSIM, Statistics Canada's official database, or by contacting us through the means mentioned on the inside cover of this publication.
