  Joint Statement of the Government of Canada and the Bank of Canada on the Renewal of the Monetary Policy Framework

  Media Relations Ottawa, Ontario

  The objective of Canada's monetary policy is to promote the economic and financial well-being of Canadians. Experience has shown that the best way monetary policy can achieve this goal is by maintaining a low and stable inflation environment. Doing so supports a strong and inclusive labour market that provides every Canadian with opportunities for a good quality of life.
