The Canadian Real Estate Association is expected to release its figures for home sales in April, while Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. is scheduled to publish its preliminary numbers for housing starts for the same month.

Lightspeed results

Lightspeed Commerce Inc. will release its fourth-quarter results before markets open on Thursday and hold a conference call with analysts. Lightspeed said last month that it was cutting about 280 jobs in a move that represented about 10 per cent of the company's staff-related operating spending.
