Monetary policy in the time of COVID: obscure, but vital, BofC gets a new governor

Tiff Macklem brings experience in global-level financial deliberations, commercial banking, and crisis management—all of which Finance Minister Bill Morneau must see as invaluable.

Tiff Macklem is pictured at the May 1 announcement of his appointment as the next Bank of Canada governor. These days the governor’s job has evolved into the much broader task of complementing governments’ fiscal measures with a range of other robust policy initiatives, writes Les Whittington.

Women entrepreneurs are a vital resource for growing Canada’s economy – it is time to break down the barriers standing in their way

OpinionBY ROSALIND LOCKYER
  • Eliminating barriers begins with recognizing the vital role that women—whether entrepreneurs, self-employed, employees or unpaid caregivers—play in Canada’s economic health. Without adequate supports for women and children, Canada’s economy will not thrive.
