policy issues.
A fiscal conservative, Bouey believes that
Canada must control inflation in order to achieve
sustained economic growth. He sees most of Canada's
problems (unemployment, sluggish growth and current
account deficits) as rooted primarily in inflation.
He opposes creating employment by overstimulating
the economy; in his opinion, expansionary monetary
policies would only generate higher inflation.
Instead, Bouey favors gradually lowering the rate
of growth of the money supply.
Bouey holds a B.A. degree with honors in
economics from Queen's University in Kingston,
Ontario. He belongs to the Canadian Economic
Association. His interests include golf and
curling. Bouey, 57, is married to the former Anne
Margaret Ferguson and has a son and a daughter.
