I believe that our inflation-control targets, by giving a clear, precise view of this commitment, provide a strong underpinning for the external value of the Canadian dollar. What is my main message to you today?
Canada is in better shape now than it has been for many years to face the economic challenges of the future and to reap the benefits of changing technology and an increasingly integrated world economy. But, for this scenario to unfold, there will have to be continued commitment by the authorities to prudent, credible economic policies.
