3. AGENDA
• Building permits value by month
• Canada Infrastructure Spending
• Drywall Tariff

4. SUMMARY
• Building permits rose in September for the first time in three months,
as strength in the non-residential sector outweighed some weakness
in the residential sector.
• Canadian municipalities issued $7.9 billion worth of building permits
in September, up 3.8% from the previous month. A 1.7% decrease in
the residential sector was more than offset by a 13.9% increase in the
non-residential sector. A high-value institutional building permit
issued in Alberta was behind much of the increase.
