Again, these two provisions are intended to allow the Bank of Canada to provide custodial services to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Custodial services are basically when a financial institution safeguards assets. In this case, it would be predominantly Government of Canada securities. The CMHC already has a custodian, but it would like to have more options for custodial service providers, and in this case it would be the Bank of Canada. What the Bank of Canada would do is hold a portion of CMHC's assets—again, Government of Canada securities—to safeguard it for transactions.
This facilitates, for example.... If the CMHC were in need of liquidity for certain smaller operational issues, it could post that collateral with the Bank of Canada and receive liquidity. It could use that collateral, in essence, in a loan from the Bank of Canada. Technically, it's actually sold for a short duration, but then it's reversed. That's an example of a repurchase agreement transaction as a type of transaction to facilitate the operations of the CMHC.
