Breonna Taylor's family and their lawyers are sharply criticizing Kentucky's attorney general for the failure to bring charges against police officers in her death.

At a news conference Friday, they called for state Attorney General Daniel Cameron to release the transcripts of the grand jury proceeding.

They are also vowing to continue their protests until the officers are charged.

Taylor's mother said in a statement read by a relative to a gathering in Louisville that she did not expect justice from Cameron.

A spokesperson for Cameron said prosecutors and grand jury members are bound by the facts, even though he understood that the family was disappointed in the outcome.

According to Statistics Canada, the annual inflation rate climbed to 3.1 per cent, driven by higher oil and gas prices, moving above the Bank of Canada’s target range of 1 to 3 per cent. However, underlying inflation has eased, offering some relief to the central bank. Ongoing trade tensions with the United States and the crisis in the Middle East could put further upward pressure on inflation. According to KPMG Canada, the Bank of Canada i
