Canada’s industrial capacity rose to its highest level in two years in the fourth quarter, lifted by gains in the mining and quarrying sector and a rebound in construction, data from Statistics Canada showed on Thursday.
Capacity utilisation increased to 82.2% in the final three months of 2016 from a downwardly revised 81.6% in the third quarter, its second quarterly gain in a row and the highest level since the fourth quarter of 2014.
