  • “The Bank erred in 2020 and 2021 in failing to understand the implications of cost-push inflation, which was quite different than the 2008 financial crisis, which led to a fall in demand for goods and services,” Jack Mintz, head of the University of Calgary's public policy school and a former finance department visiting economist, told Senate banking committee Thursday
  • “An independent review of the Bank of Canada’s monetary operations should be considered, similar to the Australian review now being conducted.”
