David Longworth: Promoting stability, confidence and well-being Remarks by Mr David Longworth, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Canada, to the Greater Kitchener Waterloo Chamber of Commerce, Waterloo, Ontario, 6 February 2007. *  *  *  Good afternoon. It's good to be in Kitchener-Waterloo, an urban region well known for its dynamism.
GDP growth here is among the fastest of all regions in the province. The strengths of the twin cities – in research, advanced manufacturing, and information technology, among other sectors – are well known. Less well known, perhaps, is the region's success in responding effectively to changes in the world economy.
