1. This Consumer Price Index (CPI) series uses the 2005 basket definition. The eight major components of the 2005 basket are: food; shelter; household operations, furnishings and equipment; clothing and footwear; transportation; health and personal care; recreation, education and reading; and alcoholic beverages and tobacco products.
Notes: To use the CPI to convert data in current dollars for a given year T to constant dollars of a selected base year, multiply the current dollar value for year T by the ratio (CPI for the base year) / (CPI for the year T). For example, to convert a current dollar amount for 2010 to 2001 constant dollars, multiply it by the CPI for 2001 and divide by the CPI for 2010.
Separate CPIs are published for Canada, the 10 provinces, Whitehorse, Yellowknife and Iqaluit. For more information on this CPI series, see the footnotes to CANSIM Table 326-0021. For more information on the CPI and converting current dollars to constant dollars, see Statistics Canada, 1996, Your Guide to the Consumer Price Index, Catalogue no.62-557-XPB, Ottawa; /bsolc/olc-cel/olc-cel?catno=62-557-X&lang=eng.
