summary of deliberations Wednesday, providing insight into its decision to raise interest rates again earlier this month as the economy runs hotter than expected.

Ultimately, they decided that both factors were partly at play, but that cost of waiting too long to raise rates outweighed the benefits.
But the Bank of Canada is still concerned about price growth, as core measure of inflation that strip out volatility remain high.
