This end date is too early. Official Bank of Canada and Bank of England biographies say Carney stayed Senior Associate Deputy Minister of Finance until his appointment as Bank of Canada governor in late 2007/early 2008, not February 2007.

Full reasoning

The article says Carney's tenure as Senior Associate Deputy Minister of Finance ended on February 4, 2007. Primary sources show he held that job longer than that.

  • The Bank of Canada says that in November 2004 he left the Bank to become Senior Associate Deputy Minister of Finance, "a position he held until his appointment as Governor of the Bank."
  • The Bank's October 2007 appointment release says Carney would join the Bank on 1 November 2007 as adviser to the governor before taking over as governor on 1 February 2008.
  • The Bank of England biography likewise summarizes the post as "Senior Associate Deputy Minister of Finance (2004 - 2007)."

Those sources rule out an end date of February 4, 2007.
