Canada's CPI rises 3.8 pct in September

OTTAWA, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- Canada's consumer price index (CPI) rose 3.8 percent in September on a year-over-year basis, down from a 4 percent gain in August, Statistics Canada said Tuesday.

The year-over-year deceleration was broad-based, stemming from lower prices for some travel-related services, durable goods and groceries, the national statistical agency said.
