Canada says currency talks should extend beyond G7

Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty reminded his European counterparts on Friday that they are not alone in bearing the brunt of a weak U.S. dollar and said any global currency discussions should rightly extend beyond the G7 group to include Asian countries.

Flaherty spoke to reporters in Istanbul ahead of a meeting of the Group of Seven finance ministers and central bankers on Saturday. He said he expected there would be a brief communique after the meeting. Source
