TORONTO, Feb. 15, 2013 /CNW/ - In his first one-on-one interview since he was appointed to head the Bank of England, the departing Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney grants a world-exclusive TV interview to CTV's QUESTION PERIOD airing this Sunday, February 17 at 11 a.m. ET on CTV. In the wide-ranging interview, Carney sits down with QUESTION PERIOD host Kevin Newman, revealing his more personal side, thoughts on the 2008 economic meltdown, his view on the future of Canada's housing market, and why he's determined to return to Canada in five years.
