Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for your presentation, Governor Poloz.
I have to admit that some parts of your opening statement impressed me deeply. I want to talk about one of them, the Canadian context. You said: “In short, we need to see the reconstruction of Canada's economic potential, and a return to self-sustaining, self-generating growth”.
In a previous meeting, I had a discussion with your predecessor. At that time, I talked about the work that we should be doing on ourselves and I talked about my own problem with pride, the pride in not wanting to depend totally on growth in other countries or in being at the mercy of a return to global growth.
Governor, how can the Bank of Canada help us to start moving in that direction?
