OTTAWA - Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, pressed about statistics showing the country is in a technical recession, on Tuesday told reporters that as the government pressed ahead with reforms "the data will be uneven".

He continued: "We see some weakness, in part because of clear decisions made by the government." These included cutting back immigration and curbing government spending, he said.
