David Dodge: The Canadian economy - adjusting to global economic forces Remarks by Mr David Dodge, Governor of the Bank of Canada, to the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce, Ottawa, 6 May 2005. *  *  *  Good morning. It's a pleasure to be here.
I'm always glad to deliver a speech in Ottawa and to get a chance to play before the hometown crowd. But the opportunity is especially welcome this year, because this is an anniversary year for both the City of Ottawa and the Bank of Canada. The year 2005 marks the 150th anniversary of the establishment of Ottawa as a city.
