It's a big question, so let me offer a couple of things.
First of all, the monetary policy is, by its very nature, a very macro tool. We have one rate of inflation for the whole country, the CPI inflation. That is our target. We have one interest rate for the whole country. That's our instrument, and we obviously can't target specific groups.
One of the big costs of inflation is that it does hurt low-income, poorer people the most. When grocery and gas prices go up, it bites for them the most, and that's one important reason that you want to keep inflation low and stable.
This pandemic has been a very good example. You can't understand the macroeconomy without looking at a more granular level, at the experience of different Canadians in different sectors of men, women, youth, and of racialized Canadians. You need to look at the different experiences to get an understanding of that macro picture.
Probably the most important thing you can do to create more equality in this country is to get everybody back to work. If you look at the effects of this pandemic, you see that it wasn't just that three million people were out of work—an unbelievably huge number—but it was also how incredibly uneven it was. It was very concentrated on youth, low-income workers and women. As the economy has recovered, the good news is that those inequalities have dramatically diminished. In fact, youth and female employment is now above prepandemic levels; low-wage workers have come a long way back, but there's still some room there.
