We’re pleased to welcome a special guest on today’s podcast - renowned economist Don Drummond, to discuss the health of Canada’s economy. Don has held several senior roles at the Federal Department of Finance, including Associate Deputy Minister, where he was responsible for economic analysis, and fiscal and tax policies. Don later served as Senior Vice President and Chief Economist at TD Bank, and he is currently Chair of the Canadian Centre for the Study of Living Standards; Fellow-in-Residence at the C.D. Howe Institute and a member of the Expert Advisory Group to the Canadian Institute for Climate Choices. As the Canadian economy has changed rapidly over the last few years, investors continue to grapple with how to navigate its volatile landscape. With Canada’s annual inflation rate sitting at 7%, pushing food and gas prices higher, how can policymakers slow inflation and grow Canada’s economy? We pose these questions and more to Don today, with Don sharing his unique perspectives with host Pamela Ritchie.
