Minister of Finance Ralph Goodale today announced the nomination of Marcel Massé to a second term as Executive Director at the World Bank in Washington, D.C.

"It gives me great pleasure to nominate Mr. Massé to another term in this position," said Minister Goodale. "His understanding of the issues and experience in the field of international development make him a natural choice to represent Canada in this important post."
