The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted all of our lives—unfortunately, some more severely than others. And because of this pandemic, we are all living with limits on our behaviour. One of the things I enjoy most about giving public speeches as a Deputy Governor is having the opportunity to visit different towns and cities throughout Canada and especially to meet people like you.
I very much like listening and learning about your businesses and the local economy and discussing the Bank of Canada, our economic outlook and our policies. We are fortunate to be living at a time when technology can make some of this experience possible even under the current circumstances.
