Bank Of Canada Interest Rate Decision: Mark Carney Keeps Key Rate At 1%

The central bank's decision on interest rates Tuesday was widely expected, but it did unveil a few new twists in its release, including a slightly altered profile for economic growth and an admission its policies will likely keep Canada's housing market strong and spur consumer spending.
