Three new directors were appointed to the Bank of Canada’s board on Wednesday.
Federal finance minister Jim Flaherty announced the appointments of Colin Dodds, Monique Jérôme-Forget, and Hassan Khosrowshahi.
“Dr. Dodds, Ms. Jérôme-Forget and Mr. Khosrowshahi bring significant academic, management and professional expertise and knowledge of finance and economics to the bank’s board,” said Flaherty, in release.

Jérôme-Forget, a former finance minister in Quebec, is now a special advisor in the Montreal office of Osler, Hoskin and Harcourt LLP.
Khosrowshahi is an entrepreneur, and was the founder of Future Shop, among other ventures.
