Thank you.
Yesterday we had a number of straw polls here on the committee. One was a straw poll that asked panellists whether or not they thought the Bank of Canada should reduce interest rates, which leads to the notion that perhaps we're leaning toward asking people whether they believe the Government of Canada should intervene in the affairs of the Bank of Canada.
Do any of you believe the Government of Canada should intervene with the Bank of Canada directly to manipulate interest rates? Do any of you think that would be a good idea?
