Governor of the Bank of Canada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Governor of the Bank of Canada is chief executive officer and the chairman of the board of directors of the Bank of Canada. The current Governor is Mark Carney, since February 1, 2008. In principle, the governor is appointed by the Bank's board of directors, subject to the approval of the federal cabinet, for a term of seven years. In practice, this means that the governor is appointed by the Prime Minister of Canada, with the advice of the Bank's board of directors. Once in office, the position is intended to be independent.
