Note to users
The Consumer Price Index is published monthly and is not subject to revisions.
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 identified by the Bank of Canada: fruit, fruit preparations and nuts; vegetables and vegetable preparations; mortgage interest cost; natural gas; fuel oil and other fuels; 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.

Canada owes the success of its statistical system to a long standing partnership between Statistics Canada, the citizens of Canada, its businesses, governments and other institutions. Accurate and timely statistical information could not be produced without their continued cooperation and goodwill.
Standards of service to the public
