the Banks giving them more money and incentive to lower interest rates in order to attract more customers

Monetary Policy at WorkThe Bank of Canada’s Record So Far
A stable economy requires that it’s participants remain calm
In order to be calm, people need to be well informed
The BoC and the Government work hard to make sure that people know what is going on and how to respond
Last 15 years has been relative stable Low interest rates also caused the low
value of the Canadian dollar
