STATISTICS Canada's latest monthly reading of the country's employment picture couldn't have provided better news for Manitoba. He doesn't blame [StatsCan], saying the federal agency does the best it can with limited resources. He initially thought the problem was with the survey sample -- about 4,600 households, which he felt was too small. So last year, the province paid StatsCan $1 million to add 1,000 households to its Manitoba survey in hopes that would eliminate the wilder fluctuations.

Saskatchewan recorded the largest percentage increase in residential construction spending in Canada, with a 28.3 per cent gain. That was followed by Alberta at 16.9 per cent. The (Canadian) housing sector has been positively affected by Western Canada's dynamic economy, still attractive mortgage rates, appealing financing possibilities, strength in employment and growing disposable incomes," Statistics Canada said.
