In the past week, Canada and the United States committed to more ambitious GHG emission reduction targets, the Canadian government announced a historic budget, and the Bank of Canada provided an economic outlook.

This week, John Stackhouse, Senior Vice President, Office of the RBC CEO, joined the podcast to discuss the recent announcements. Here are some of the questions Peter and Jackie asked John:  What is RBC’s outlook for the Canadian economy? What is your reaction to the Canadian budget?   Should Canadians be concerned by the federal debt and the potential for inflation? What is your outlook for Canadian oil and gas considering these aggressive GHG emission reduction goals? How will all these reductions be financed? How is ESG being used in corporate lending decisions? What is the definition of green finance, are reductions in oil and gas emissions included?
