For Canada to fix its currency to the U.S. dollar. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20071205.wcarney1205/BNStory/Business Don't peg loonie to greenback, incoming Bank governor says Globe and Mail Update December 5, 2007 at 8:48 PM EST The Bank of Canada's governor-designate presented himself as a keen inflation fighter who wants to modernize the institution's approach to globalization and sophisticated financial markets, someone who believes strongly in explaining the bank's decisions to the public, and someone who sticks to his script, deftly dodging uncomfortable questions. In a 90-minute session with the House of Commons finance committee meant to make sure the federal government had chosen the right man for the job, Mr. Carney also passionately rejected the case for monetary union with the United States. Since the dollar has been so volatile lately, "it is not surprising that some have called for Canada to fix its currency to the U.S. dollar," he said in an opening statement. "In my opinion, it would be a mistake to do so." Jan 01 08, 7:32 AM
