The Canadian economy grew a modest 0.2 per cent in February, with advance estimates for March indicating little change in GDP, Statistics Canada said on Tuesday.
The transportation and warehousing sector grew 1.4 per cent, a pace that the data agency said was the largest monthly growth rate since January 2023.
Rail transportation contributed significantly to that sector's growth, with a 5.5 per cent gain, as it rebounded from a January cold snap.
Canada's GDP grew 0.5 per cent in January, helped by a rebound in educational services after public sector strikes ended in Quebec.
