Saskatchewan's inflation rate saw a slight cooling in July, primarily driven by a significant drop in gasoline prices. According to data released Tuesday morning by Statistics Canada, the Consumer Price Index for the province rose by 1.4 per cent on a year-over-year basis, down from the 1.7 per cent rate recorded in June.
