Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good afternoon, Mr. Carney. It is a pleasure to see you again. Welcome Mr. Macklem, who I do not know yet, but who I will certainly get to know.
My first question pertains to the regions you mentioned on page 4 of your report. Your report reads as follows: “Recent developments highlight important geographic divergences in underlying economic growth.” You have some charts that illustrate the situation in various regions and countries.
When you deal with the topic of regions, I was wondering whether you were thinking of those found in our huge country, with its regions that are so diversified. You do not mention this, to my knowledge. I would like to hear your thoughts on the matter. How do you treat these data? You no doubt have data about the various regions in Canada. How do you manage to come up with a common portrait?
