The Bank of Canada is responsible for the design, production and distribution of Canadian bank notes. And on bank notes, we can celebrate the diversity of Canada’s culture and society.
As Governor of the Bank, and along with Carolyn Wilkins, our Senior Deputy Governor, I have long believed that it was time for a woman, in addition to Her Majesty, to be on one of Canada’s bank notes. And we also heard from Canadians who told us that it was long overdue.
