Key comments

“National non-residential building permits rose 3.0 percent on increased construction plans for institutional buildings, including educational facilities and nursing homes. Industrial permits rose for the second month in a row on increased plans to build primary industry buildings and manufacturing plants, but permits for commercial buildings dropped with fewer plans to build hotels and office buildings. ”Source - http://ca.reuters.com/article/idCAKBN14U1LD
