Ottawa — Statistics Canada says the rate of inflation in July came in at two per cent.
That matches a similar year-over-year increase in June.
The agency notes the highest rates were measured in Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Victoria.
Compared with a year earlier, Canadians paid less last month for gasoline, internet services and traveller accommodation but more for fresh vegetables and car insurance.
Analysts had expected the rate to come in at 1.7 percent.
