The probability of a sharp housing correction, particularly in prices, is small, the bank says, but the consequences would be large for highly indebted households, some financial institutions and the economy in general.

The conference comes a day after the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development told Canada it was concerned that rising home prices were widening inequality and the IMF warned that high house prices might be a threat to global growth.

Poloz has also spoken recently about the two-speed economy, with resource-rich provinces doing well, but the rest of Canada's recovery still in neutral.
