According to the CBC it was 3.3% in 2004.

Most non-union businesses don't give a shit about inflation or cost of living. Instead, they are concerned with cost of labor. This favors workers in a booming economy and employers in a tight one. I'd look up average wages for your particular job in 2003 and compare them with the average salary now. Showing your boss that you are aware of competative salaries might help. Of course, if your salary is above average or it has gone down in the last year, you're just SOL.
