I am not going to answer questions that are actually questions for the Governor of the Bank of Canada. I am not the Governor of the Bank of Canada. But what I will explain is that when prices go down and then they go back up again, that so-called inflation stays in the inflation numbers for a whole year. We call it a “base effect”. Then it comes back down.
That is a transitory rise in prices. The prices stay up, but the inflation rate only goes up temporarily and comes back down a year later. That is the sort of phenomenon you're describing.
I'll leave my comments there. I am not here to defend the Bank of Canada's current policies. It's not my job. It's not appropriate.
