In April, Canadian consumer prices rose 6.8% year over year, a slight increase from March (+6.7%).
The year-over-year increase in April was largely driven by food and shelter prices. Gas prices increased at a slower pace in April compared with March, moderating the acceleration of the all-items Consumer Price Index (CPI) in April.
