Thank you.
As you've just stated, Governor, your bank is buying $5 billion a week of Government of Canada bonds and buying 40% of new Government of Canada treasuries. You said in your monetary policy report that this was because of strains the government was experiencing in raising new money and challenges in borrowing.
If the government's balance sheet is really as strong as you and others have claimed, why can't the government go on borrowing from willing lenders rather than having you create money from thin air to lend to it?
