Building permit values fall in June
Statistics Canada reports that the national total value of building permits declined 1.5 per cent in June to $11.9 billion. The fall was mainly attributed to the non-residential sector, which dropped 10.4 per cent to $3.7 billion a month after posting its second-highest monthly value on record. Commercial permit values decreased 2.7 per cent. The decline was attributed to values dropping in eight provinces, which were enough to surpass a notable increase in Ontario, where a permit for a large office building in the city of Toronto paced the province to a jump of 37.5 per cent.
