We have set up a working group comprised of representatives from the Department of Finance, the Business Development Bank of Canada, and the Bank of Canada which will be in charge of reviewing criteria. Representatives from the Bank of Canada have great experience in reviewing different types of assets to use as collateral, such as ABCP. The Bank of Canada has closely examined all sorts of rules to make sure that we are dealing with good credit, and they will be working on this issue with our two organizations.
On March 3rd, 2009. See this statement in context.
