OTTAWA – Statistics Canada says the annual inflation rate fell to 2.7 per cent in April amid a broad-based deceleration in price growth.
That’s down from 2.9 per cent in March.
The agency’s consumer price index report says the slowdown was led by food prices, services and durable goods.
Meanwhile, higher gasoline prices moderated the deceleration.
