Revisions to the Bank of Canada's preferred measures of core inflation are now available in the table Consumer Price Index (CPI) statistics, measures of core inflation and other related statistics - Bank of Canada definitions.
In the version published on February 17, 2021, methodological changes to the seasonal adjustment models were applied to some input series. Following feedback from users, Statistics Canada has determined that these changes require further evaluation and analysis. As a result, the Bank of Canada's preferred measures of core inflation now reflect the annual revision normally done with the release of the January CPI, without any change to the seasonal adjustment method.
Statistics Canada values the feedback from our users.
