Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First, I would like to thank Governor Macklem for his interesting presentation.
I would also like to thank Senior Deputy Governor Carolyn Wilkins.
I would like to go back to your comments to Mr. Wayne Easter, the chair of our committee, and to tell you once again how grateful we are for each of your appearances here with the committee.
Your comments were clear and informative. When you answered our questions, we always learned something. I also commend you and Mr. Macklem on your command of the French language.
I'll begin by talking about inflation.
Mr. Macklem or Ms. Wilkins, has maintaining control over inflation, a key criterion of the Bank of Canada for several decades, been a factor during the crisis so far?
