One criticism of the Bank of Canada's focus on an inflation control target is that Question 16 options: if inflation edges above the target range, the Bank of Canada's actions decrease aggregate demand and could create a recession. it makes setting expectations of inflation difficult. if inflation falls below the target range, a recession will result. over the last 20 years the Bank of Canada has seldom kept inflation within the target range. the Bank pays too much attention on unemployment and real GDP growth and not enough to inflation control.
