Canadian opposition says central bank ‘must not become government ATM’
Bank of Canada to end some emergency financing programmes as lawmaker calls more QE “insane”
A leading opposition politician has warned Canada’s central bank not to “act as an ATM” for the country’s government.
The news came as the Bank of Canada said it was ending some of the emergency support programmes it introduced in March, and modifying others.
