Dr David Dodge, a former Deputy Minister of Finance and Deputy Minister of Finance and Deputy Minister of Health, is currently the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Canada. In an address to The Sydney Institute, on Monday 6 November 2006, David Dodge drew many parallels between the economies of Canada and Australia, pointing out that both countries 'should be well placed to cope with whatever developments come about in the global economy'. But also that both Canada and Australia must 'work hard to help shape that global economy'.
