OTTAWA — Weeks after Mark Carney’s appointment as chair of the prime minister’s special new task force on economic growth, his outfit appears to have no firm deadline for its findings, no scheduled events and no other members except Carney.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that the former governor of Canada’s and England’s central banks and a rumoured Liberal leadership contender would be chair of the new “Leader’s Task Force on Economic Growth,” at the Liberal caucus retreat in early September. Carney’s role means he will be working for the Liberal party and not the government.
