  • Letter Addressed to Honourable Bill Morneau, Federal Minister Of
    Letter Addressed to Honourable Bill Morneau, Federal Minister of Finance of the Government of Canada, by Canadian Economists in Support of a Multi-Goal Mandate for the Bank of Canada We wish to encourage the Canadian Government and, more specifically, the federal Minister of Finance, the honourable Bill Morneau, to instruct the Bank of Canada to pursue policies more consistent with its official broad mandate as stipulated in the preamble to the Bank of Canada Act: “ … to regulate credit and currency in the best interests of the economic life of the nation, to control and protect the external value of the national monetary unit and to mitigate by its influence fluctuations in the general level of production, trade, prices and employment, so far as may be possible within the scope of monetary action, and generally to promote the economic and financial welfare of Canada.” http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/B- 2/page-1.html The current official mandate of a 2 per cent inflation target is the outcome of a specific monetary policy framework put in place since 1991 when the Bank of Canada and the federal Minister of Finance of the then Progressive Conservative Government of former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney agreed on an inflation-targeting regime to conduct Canadian monetary policy. Through a decision of the Cabinet, the Canadian Government renews every five years this specific inflation target agreement with the Bank, with the most recent being in 2016 for the 2016-2021 period. Because this inflation-targeting regime has been in place for over a quarter century, we believe it is time to assess the current framework and open the discussion to the possibility of a broader mandate, which is more consistent with the spirit and intent of the original Bank of Canada Act.

  • The Honourable Maryam Monsef Minister for Women and Gender Equality Government of Canada
    The Honourable Maryam Monsef Minister for Women and Gender Equality Government of Canada Dear Minister Monsef: As we write, evidence continues to mount about the gendered impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. From increased risk of violence under lockdown in abusive homes, to expanded caregiving for children out of school and at-risk vulnerable adults, to a majority presence in front-line health care, social and other service sectors, women are front and centre when it comes to impacts of and response to the pandemic. Thank you for what you have already done and the speedy response to the GBV crisis. Your government has committed to ensuring a feminist approach to all policymaking, and this is evident in your immediate response to provide emergency funding to shelters and sexual assault centres who are experiencing increases in demand because of the impact of isolation and uncertainty on gender-based violence. We thank you for these measures and want to encourage you to put the commitment to gender analysis fully into practice, especially given the gendered impact of this pandemic. Emergency response measures and recovery planning need to include substantive gender equality standards and intersectional feminist approaches to ensure that all government action takes into account those most impacted and those most at risk. Special emphasis is needed on the reality that different groups of women in all their diversity and marginalization are experiencing different impacts, requiring specific and targeted responses – such as women with disabilities dependent on caregivers, First Nations, Métis and Inuit women living in over-crowded and substandard housing, racialized women providing care services in precarious employment situations, women who are homeless or have precarious immigration status.
