Provinces in the Red: Crisis Debt Loads?
The Annual David Laidler Lecture with Dr. Kyle Hanniman, Paul Jenkins and Warren Lovely
Sponsored by:
Provinces across Canada entered the COVID-19 pandemic heavily indebted, a fact exacerbated by the stimulus needed to support the millions of Canadians impacted by the crisis. To ensure provinces had liquidity, the Bank of Canada stepped in with the Provincial Money Market Purchase Program and the Provincial Bond Purchase Program. Join the C.D. Howe Institute on October 15 to hear an expert panel discuss the unprecedented levels of provincial debt, the Bank of Canada’s intervention, and stabilizing this debt in the future.
The C.D. Howe Institute is deeply honoured to host the Annual David Laidler Luncheon to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of Professor Laidler in the field of monetary policy.
C.D. Howe Institute events and webinars are open to members and their guests.
