G-7 to hold Europe conference call Tuesday: Canada (by Greg Robb)

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The G-7 finance ministers and central bank governors will hold a conference call on Tuesday on the European debt crisis, a spokeswoman for Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said Monday. Earlier, Flaherty told reporters in Toronto after a speech that the G-7 planned to hold the talks. "I've been having discussions and I will have more discussions tomorrow morning and subsequently with my G-7 colleagues," Flaherty told reporters. "Those discussions also take place with some of the non-European members of the G20 ... who are concerned around the world outside of the euro zone with the potential consequences of a crisis in the euro zone, particularly a banking crisis," he added. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Treasury Department declined comment on the statement from Flaherty's office.
