It reflects the high standards we set for ourselves in our work on behalf of Canadians. It goes hand in hand with the statement we made when we launched the Compass and the Medium Term Plan. Namely: that we are committed to performance that is second to none among the central banks of the world.
It was a challenging goal then, and it still is. But we’re getting there. We’re doing outstanding work in monetary policy; I’m very proud of the way we have continued to meet our inflation control targets. In the area of currency we’re producing new bank notes in the Canadian Journey series.
