| For the first time this month, Statistics Canada is calculating,
on behalf of the Bank of Canada, an index series for All-items excluding
the eight most volatile components. Those eight components, as defined
by the Bank, are: 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. The Bank of Canada further
adjusts this series to obtain their measure of core inflation which
also excludes the effect of indirect taxes. For data and information
on core inflation, please consult the Bank of Canada Web site: http://www.bankofcanada.ca/inflation. |
