OTTAWA - Statistics Canada says the total monthly value of building permits in Canada ticked down 0.1 per cent in July to $11.9 billion, driven lower by the non-residential sector which was largely offset by a rise in the residential sector.

The agency says the total monthly value of non-residential permits decreased 5.8 per cent to $4.6 billion in July.
