As the Canadian market navigates a period of contained inflation and sluggish growth, the Bank of Canada's decision to hold interest rates steady provides a stable backdrop for investors. In this environment, growth companies with high insider ownership can be particularly appealing, as they often indicate strong confidence from those who know the business best.
