Canada Invites G7 To Come Freeze Balls Off, Talk About Inflation
Top finance officials from the G7 countries will meet in the remote Arctic town of Iqaluit, Canada's northernmost territorial capital, on Feb 5-6 but may not issue a communique, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said on Wednesday.
"The February meeting will return to the G7's roots with a more frank and focused dialogue," Flaherty said in a statement. "In an ever-changing global economy, the G7 will continue to evolve, with a focus not on paper but on people -- not on communiques and accords, but on constructive dialogue on actions to strengthen the global economy."
