OTTAWA, Ont. – Statistics Canada has released the latest numbers on the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) and most industries look weaker than they were. In fact, the July-September quarterly growth was the weakest since the first quarter of 1991. GDP was dragged down by the goods sector, although the services sectors maintained a healthy pace. Industrial production contracted 2.3 per cent, mostly due to continued sluggish manufacturing performance, the federal agency reports.
