The authors say “the bank still doesn’t publish minutes of the council’s rate-decision meetings, as many other major central banks do”; it is much worse than this. The Bank of Canada doesn’t even state after a meeting which members of the Governing Council had voted to move the overnight rate up, down or keep it unchanged. The C.D. Howe Institute’s Monetary Policy Council has meetings in advance of the interest rate announcements of the Bank of Canada. Minutes of these meetings aren’t published either, in the sense of detailed summaries of who said what as opposed to a general summary of the tenor of the debate. However, it is recorded how each member voted on interest rate changes for the given month and for a year ahead. Surely Canadians should also know how the Governing Council voted on changes in the overnight rate for the month in question.
