OTTAWA, April 20 (Reuters) - The impact on the Canadian
dollar from U.S. Federal Reserve raising interest rates more
than the Bank of Canada is not a "major concern" because of a
flexible exchange rate and the BOC's independent monetary
policy, Governor Tiff Macklem said on Thursday.
"That is not a major concern. We have an independent
monetary policy, we have a flexible exchange rate," Macklem told
a Canadian Senate panel, in response to a question about the
impact of higher U.S. interest rates on the Canadian dollar.
