Hi! Thanks for the question.

The historical figures for the Canadian Consumer Price Index (from
1972 to 2001) could be found here.

Consumer Price Index, 1996 classification, annual average all-items
indexes, historical summary (CPI)
http://www.statcan.ca/english/Pgdb/Economy/Economic/econ46.htm

The Stat Scan figures for May 2002 CPI figures increased by just 1.0%.
Here is the article for your reference.

Latest release from the Consumer Price Index. Friday, June 14, 2002
http://www.statcan.ca/english/Subjects/Cpi/cpi-en.htm

The following documents provide a breakdown of the different
components of the Canadian CPI but only for the last five years.
