  Our Approach to Monetary Policy: Inflation Targeting

  Remarks David Dodge Regina Chamber of Commerce Regina, Saskatchewan

  This year also marks the 70th anniversary of the creation of the Bank of Canada, and we too have taken the time to celebrate our contributions to Canada.

In this spirit, I'd like to talk to you today about one of our main responsibilities; that is, the conduct of monetary policy.
