Mr. Speaker, the Conservative leader has a big problem. He claims to be among the world's leading economists on monetary policy, when he has not even read the beginning of the first chapter of an Economics 101 textbook on monetary policy. If he had, he would know that, when it comes to preventing inflation and helping the central bank reduce interest rates, one of the fundamental rules of monetary economics is to avoid attacking the independence and competence of the Bank of Canada.
When will he apologize for being the most incompetent expert and politician we know when it comes to monetary economics?
