The manufacturing sector posted its strongest growth in three years and the real estate industry grew for a fourth consecutive month, led by a surge in the output of real estate agents and brokers. Given today's release, growth in the Canadian economy is tracking at 2.5 per cent for the fourth quarter, an uptick from 1.7 per cent growth in the third quarter.
