I'm going somewhere with this. I don't mean to interrupt you, but now we have homegrown inflation. We're two years in with a government that's willing to spend endlessly. It has doubled the national debt. It's adding another $60 billion in spending over the next five years, just over and above what they announced in November. Because of that, the Governor of the Bank of Canada has, despite saying interest rates will stay low for a long time and people shouldn't worry about that, now raised the bank rate to 4.5%.
I know it seems self-evident, but I just want to get confirmation from you on the record. Is there a direct correlation between inflation and the bank increasing interest rates?
