Macklem Defends Use of Replacement Workers at Bank of Canada

Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem defended the use of replacement workers during a strike at the central bank. The Canadian Press reported that Macklem stated this in a news conference on Wednesday, June 10, 2026.

The Bank of Canada has been criticized for using temporary staff to maintain operations during the strike. Critics argue that this undermines labor rights and union efforts to negotiate better working conditions and wages.

Macklem did not provide further details on the use of replacement workers or the reasons behind it. The Canadian Press reported the development without adding additional context or background information.
