https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2005/12/approach-monetary-policy-inflation-targeting/
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. At such times, while it is appropriate to look back and celebrate history and accomplishments, it is also a good opportunity to look forward and think about where we are headed. In this spirit, I'd like to talk to you today about one of our main responsibilities; that is, the conduct of monetary policy.2005-12-12T14:41:38+00:00Our Approach to Monetary Policy: Inflation Targeting2005-12-12David DodgeGovernor Dodge Reviews Canada's Inflation-Targeting Framework

Measures of productivity tell us how much output we produce from the use of tangible inputs - such as skilled workers and capital equipment - and intangible inputs - such as technological advances and managerial and entrepreneurial know-how. Productivity rises over time as we boost output by finding new and more efficient ways to use these inputs.2005-11-28T14:22:49+00:00Investing in Productivity2005-11-28David DodgeGovernor Dodge Discusses Investing in Productivity

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2005/11/inflation-targeting-canada-design-lessons-challenges/
Today, I want to share with all of you Canada's perspective on the design of an inflation-targeting system, some of the lessons we have learned over almost 15 years of experience with explicit inflation targets, and some of the challenges that remain. This topic is timely, because the Bank of Canada's inflation-targeting agreement with the Canadian government is up for renewal next year, and I am pleased to note that, earlier today, the Government announced its intention to renew our agreement for another five years.2005-11-14T13:42:55+00:00Inflation Targeting in Canada: Design, Lessons, and Challenges2005-11-14David DodgeEconomic and Financial Efficiency: The Importance of Pension Plans

Over the past year, I have spoken a number of times on the topic of efficiency, and why it is so important for Canadian policy-makers to keep in mind the goal of an efficient financial system. Today, I want to talk about Canada's system of pension plans and how they contribute to the efficiency of financial markets and of the economy as a whole.2005-11-09T13:18:55+00:00Economic and Financial Efficiency: The Importance of Pension Plans2005-11-09David DodgeGovernor Dodge Discusses Efficiency and the Importance of Pension Plans

As globalization intensifies, more and more regions are realizing the benefits of open trade and capital account liberalization. But with increased globalization also comes increased exposure to shocks originating outside each country's borders.2005-11-04T13:07:00+00:00International symposium of the Banque de France2005-11-04David DodgeOpening Statement before the Standing Senate Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2005/10/opening-statement-26-october-2005/
When Paul and I appeared before this Committee last April, we said that the economy appeared to be operating slightly below its production capacity, and that we expected it to move back to full capacity in the second half of 2006. In our October Monetary Policy Report, which we published last Thursday, we said that economic growth in the first half of the year was somewhat stronger than we had previously expected. Indeed, the global and Canadian economies have continued to grow at a solid pace, and our economy now appears to be operating at full production capacity.2005-10-26T12:07:16+00:00Opening Statement before the Standing Senate Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce2005-10-26David Dodge
