Notes: To use the CPI to convert data in current dollars for a given year T, to constant dollars of September of a selected base year, multiply the current dollar value for year T by the ratio (CPI for September of the base year) / (CPI for September of year T). For example, to convert a current dollar amount for 2009 to September 2006 constant dollars, multiply the amount for 2009 by the CPI for September 2006 and divide by the CPI for September 2009.
For more information on this CPI series, see the footnotes to CANSIM table 326-0020. For more information on the Consumer Price Index and converting current dollars to constant dollars, see Statistics Canada. 1996. Your Guide to the Consumer Price Index. Catalogue No. 62-557-XPB. Ottawa.
