Key quotes

"GDP is expected to rebound by 3.9%, above the flash estimates from StatCan for 3.0%, following broad strength across activity data for May."

"This would still leave output 14% below year-ago levels but provides a strong start to the recovery, especially with signs of accelerating growth in June, and leaves us on track to outperform BoC expectations for a 43% contraction in Q2."
