G8 finance officials meet in Canadian Arctic

G8 finance officials will meet in a remote Canadian Arctic town in February for a low-key "fireside chat" about the global financial crisis, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said Wednesday. Finance ministers and central bank chiefs from the world's most industrialized countries will travel to Iqaluit, capital of the northern territory of Nunavut, for the February 5-6 session. A communique at the end of the meeting is unlikely, the minister said.
