On 23 April 2002, the Bank of Canada announced its intention to implement a securities-lending program to support the liquidity of Government of Canada securities by providing a secondary and temporary source of securities to the market. The Bank intends to implement this program on 30 September 2002.
The Department of Finance and the Bank of Canada are releasing final terms and conditions for participating in morning auctions of Receiver General balances. These auctions are the primary means by which the government invests its short-term Canadian-dollar cash balances.
