And it sounds like he's more concerned about the climate change issues than   
   even Trudeau.  Let's hope he sticks around for awhile.

   Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney advising PM on COVID-19 economic   
   response   
      
   Mark Carney — the former governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of   
   England — has been acting as an informal adviser to Prime Minister Justin   
   Trudeau on the federal government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.   
      
   Carney "certainly has been advising the PM through different phases of this,"   
   said a senior government official speaking on background. "I'd hope we can   
   count on him for more."   
      
   News of the informal role was first reported by Bloomberg on Monday.   
      
   Carney has long been rumoured to have political aspirations since returning to   
   Canada after his term with the Bank of England expired earlier this year. Many   
   in Liberal circles see Carney as a top candidate for finance minister should   
   he seek office or    
   as a possible leadership candidate to eventually succeed Trudeau.

   Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney urges financial sector to act   
   against climate change   
      
      
   The United Nations' incoming special envoy for climate action and finance,   
   former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, is likening the climate crisis to   
   a financial crisis — and says action by the financial sector to help tackle   
   the issue is "   
   absolutely necessary."   
      
   In an interview broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Monday, Carney, whose tenure as Bank   
   of England governor is set to end Jan. 31, 2020, said while the financial   
   sector has begun to make changes in the way it invests in public pensions   
   funds, its action has been    
   too slow.   
      
   He said companies have to be more transparent about their carbon footprints   
   and make public their plans for how to help get to a net-zero emissions   
   economy by 2050 — as required by U.K. law — so that the public knows how   
   its money is being invested.
