I think that will go back to my colleague Mr. Lemire's suggestion that we need to get the governor in to answer some of these questions.
This is the next question I have. The Bank of Canada is a public institution owned by Canadians, yet it's now in a court challenge that would compel the bank to disclose compensation for its senior officials. In other jurisdictions, including at the Bank of England, this type of information is proactively disclosed. Even former governor Mark Carney's salaries were publicly available.
My concern is transparency and accountability to taxpayers. Why is the Bank of Canada resisting the disclosure of executive compensation? Do you believe Canadians have the right to know what senior officials at the bank are being paid?
