We make our views known to all Canadians; certainly I do by mandate have regular discussions with the Minister of Finance, and we share our outlook with the Department of Finance.
With respect to the economy, I think the important point to stress is that the economy has just gotten back to its capacity. It has recovered from the pandemic, and we are seeing considerable momentum. Omicron certainly dented growth in the first quarter—we lost 200,000 jobs in January—but if you look at a broader set of indicators, it looks like growth in the first quarter is holding up quite well.
As you're well aware, restrictions are easing, so we expect to see some increased strength going forward. What all that means is that the economy can handle higher interest rates, and we've been very clear in signalling to Canadians that they should expect a rising path for interest rates.
