Remarks by Tiff Macklem Governor of the Bank of Canada Greater Vancouver Board of Trade December 15, 2020 Vancouver, British Columbia (via Webcast)  Trading for a sustainable recovery Introduction The year is coming to an end, and not a moment too soon. I’m sure most of us can’t wait to turn the page on 2020 and COVID-19.
The pandemic has touched everyone, and the hardship has been severe for many. Some of you have lost loved ones. Others have lost jobs or businesses. And we all miss our family and friends, especially at this time of year. For months, we’ve wondered when we can get back to something approaching normal.
