At a news conference in Ottawa, Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem discusses the central bank's latest interest rate decision and monetary policy report. The bank is increasing its benchmark rate to 5 per cent in an effort to control inflation. This is the first time the rate has reached that level since 2001. The governor is joined by senior deputy governor Carolyn Rogers.
