CANADA
GENERAL INFORMATION
Area and Population
Canada is the second largest country in the world, with an area of 9,984,670 square kilometers of which about 891,163 square kilometers are covered by fresh water. The occupied farm land is about 7% and the commercial forest land is about 30% of the total area. The population on July 1, 2011 was estimated to be 34.5 million. Over two thirds of Canada’s population lives in metropolitan areas of which Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are the largest. Most of Canada’s population lives within 200 kilometers of the United States border.
Form of Government
Canada is a federal state composed of ten provinces and three territories. In 1867, the United Kingdom Parliament adopted the British North America Act, which established the Canadian federation comprised of, at that time, the Provinces of Ontario, Québec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Since then, six additional provinces (Manitoba, British Columbia, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador), along with the Yukon Territory, the Northwest Territories and the territory of Nunavut (which was carved out of the Northwest Territories on April 1, 1999), have become parts of Canada.
The British North America Act (which has been renamed the Constitution Act, 1867) gave the Parliament of Canada legislative power in relation to a number of matters including all matters not assigned exclusively to the legislatures of the provinces. These powers now include matters such as defense, the raising of money by any mode or system of taxation, the regulation of trade and commerce, the public debt, money and banking, interest, bills of exchange and promissory notes, navigation and shipping, extra-provincial transportation, aerial navigation and, with some exceptions, telecommunications. The provincial legislatures have exclusive jurisdiction in such areas as education, municipal institutions, property and civil rights, administration of justice, direct taxation for provincial purposes and other matters of purely provincial or local concern.
The executive power of the federal Government is vested in the Queen, represented by the Governor General, whose powers are exercised on the advice of the federal Cabinet, which is responsible to the House of Commons. The legislative branch at the federal level, Parliament, consists of the Crown, the Senate and the House of Commons. The Senate has 105 seats. There are 24 seats each for the Maritime Provinces, Québec, Ontario and Western Canada, 6 for Newfoundland and Labrador and 1 each for the three territories. Senators are appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the federal Cabinet and hold office until age 75. The House of Commons has 308 members, elected by voters in single-member constituencies. The leader of the political party that gains the most seats in each general election is usually invited by the Governor General to be Prime Minister and to form the Government. The Prime Minister selects the members of the federal Cabinet from among the members of the House of Commons and the Senate (in practice almost entirely from the former). The House of Commons is elected for a period of five years. Since May 2007, the Canada Elections Act requires that a general election be held on a fixed date: the third Monday of October in the fourth calendar year following the previous general election. However, the law does not prevent the Governor General from dissolving Parliament at another date. The date of a general election is set by the Governor in Council.
The most recent general election was held on May 2, 2011. As a result of that election the Conservative Party of Canada formed the Government. The distribution of seats in the House of Commons is as follows: the Conservative Party of Canada has 166 seats, the New Democratic Party has 102 seats, the Liberal Party of Canada has 34 seats, the Bloc Québécois has 4 seats, and the Green Party of Canada has 1 seat. There is 1 vacant seat.
3
The executive power in each province is vested in the Lieutenant Governor, appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the federal Cabinet. The Lieutenant Governor’s powers are exercised on the advice of the provincial cabinet, which is responsible to the legislative assembly. Each provincial legislature is composed of a Lieutenant Governor and a legislative assembly and, depending on the province, members of provincial legislative assemblies are elected for 4 or 5 years. The practice of selecting the provincial premier and the provincial cabinet in each province follows that described for the federal level, as does dissolution of a legislature.
The judicial branch of government in Canada is composed of an integrated set of courts created by federal and provincial law. At the federal level there are two principal courts, the Supreme Court of Canada which is the highest appeal court in Canada and the Federal Court of Canada which, among other things, deals with federal revenue laws and claims involving the Government. Judges of the two federally constituted courts and those of the provincial superior and county courts are appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the federal Cabinet and hold office during good behavior until age 70 or 75. Judges of the magistrates courts (commonly now known as provincial courts) are appointed by the provincial government and usually hold office until age 65 or 70.
Constitutional Reform
In April 1982, Her Majesty the Queen proclaimed the Constitution Act, 1982, terminating British legislative jurisdiction over Canada’s Constitution. The Constitution Act, 1982 provides that Canada’s Constitution may be amended pursuant to an amending formula contained therein and contains the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, including the linguistic rights of Canada’s two major language groups.
The government of Québec did not sign the constitutional agreement which led to the repatriation of the Canadian Constitution and the proclamation of the Constitution Act, 1982. Although Québec is legally bound by the Constitution Act, 1982, the government of Québec set out five conditions for accepting the legal legitimacy of the Act. Discussions on those principles led on April 30, 1987 at Meech Lake to a unanimous agreement by First Ministers on principles respecting each of Québec’s conditions.
A constitutional resolution to give effect to the Meech Lake Accord was adopted by Parliament and eight provinces before the deadline for ratification on June 23, 1990. In the absence of ratification by Newfoundland and Manitoba, the amendment was not adopted. In the wake of this event, the most extensive series of public consultations on constitutional matters ever to occur in Canada began through the work of both provincial and federal commissions and committees, among other things. Recommendations produced by this process were then assessed by a series of multilateral negotiations involving the federal, provincial and territorial governments and four national Aboriginal organizations, held from April to July 1992. Agreement was reached on a wide range of constitutional issues through the multilateral process which led to a First Ministers’ Conference held in Charlottetown in August 1992.
The Charlottetown Accord was an extensive package of reforms agreed upon by the federal, provincial and territorial governments and the four Aboriginal organizations. On October 26, 1992, Canadians were asked in a referendum if they agreed that the Constitution of Canada should be renewed on the basis of the Charlottetown agreement. A majority of Canadians in a majority of the provinces, including a majority in Québec and a majority of Status Indians living on reserves, declined to provide such a mandate. Consequently, governments set aside the constitutional issue and announced their intention to concentrate on social and economic initiatives that do not require constitutional change.
Québec
In September 1994, the Parti Québécois was elected, and its platform called for Québec’s accession to independence. On October 30, 1995, the government of Québec held a consultative referendum under provincial law, seeking a mandate to secede from Canada and proclaim Québec’s independence, after having made a formal offer of a new economic and political partnership between Québec and the rest of Canada. The government’s proposal was rejected by a vote of 50.6% against and 49.4% in favour, with a participation rate of 93%. While all sides accepted the 1995 referendum results, the Parti Québécois has not abandoned the goal of achieving independence for Québec.
4
In September 1996, the Government of Canada referred a series of legal questions to the Supreme Court of Canada with a view to clarifying, at both domestic and international law, whether the government of Québec has the right to secede from Canada unilaterally. On August 20, 1998, the Supreme Court rendered judgment, ruling that the government of Québec cannot, under either the Constitution of Canada or international law, legally effect the unilateral secession of Québec from Canada. The Supreme Court also stated that, if a clear majority of Québecers were to clearly and unambiguously express their will to secede, the federal and provincial governments in Canada would then have a constitutional obligation to enter into negotiations to address the potential act of secession as well as its possible terms should, in fact, secession proceed.
On June 29, 2000, the Government of Canada enacted a law to give effect to the requirement for clarity set out in the opinion of the Supreme Court. That law requires the House of Commons to assess, prior to any future referendum on the secession of a province, whether the referendum question made clear that the province would cease to be part of Canada and become an independent country. The law further requires that, after the vote itself, the House of Commons also assess whether there appeared to be a clear majority in support of the question. Only if both these conditions were met would the Government of Canada be authorized to enter into negotiations which might lead to the constitutional amendments required to effect secession.
In the provincial election of December 8, 2008, the federalist Québec Liberal Party was reelected for the third time since 2003 and forms a majority government having obtained 66 out of 125 seats in Quebec’s National Assembly (42% of the votes cast), as compared to 51 seats (35% of the votes cast) for the official opposition Parti québécois party, 7 seats (16% of the votes cast) for the Action démocratique du Québec and 1 seat (4% of the votes cast) for the Québec Solidaire party.

THE CANADIAN ECONOMY1
General
The following chart shows the distribution of real gross domestic product (“GDP”) at basic prices (2002 constant dollars) in 2010, which is indicative of the structure of the economy.

Note: Total may not add to 100% due to rounding.
(1) | GDP is a measure of production originating within the geographic boundaries of Canada, regardless of whether factors of production are Canadian or non-resident owned, whereas gross national product (“GNP”) measures the value of Canada’s total production of goods and services — that is, the earnings of all Canadian owned factors of production. Quantitatively, GDP is obtained from GNP by adding investment income paid to non-residents and deducting investment income received from non-residents. GDP at basic prices represents the value added by each of the factors of production and is equivalent to GDP at market prices less net taxes on products. These differences can cause discrepancies in levels and growth rates of GDP at basic prices on pages 6 and 7 and GDP at market prices on pages 8 and 9. |
(2) | The agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting; and mining and oil and gas extraction sectors both include support activities. |
The volume of industry and sector output in the following discussion provides “constant dollar” measures of the contribution of each industry to GDP at basic prices. The share of service-producing industries in real GDP was 72% in 2010 while the remaining 28% was attributed to goods-producing industries.
1 | Quarterly and semi-annual figures or changes are based upon seasonally adjusted data, except where otherwise indicated. All percentage changes are compounded at annual rates. For percentage changes over more than one year, the method of computation includes growth over the entire period indicated. Unless otherwise specified, all growth rates on page 7 are calculated using real GDP at basic prices, constant 2002 dollars. |

The following table shows the composition of Canada’s real GDP at basic prices (2002 constant dollars) by sector in 2001 and over the 2006-2010 period.

The share of service-producing industries in real GDP at basic prices increased from 67.3% in 2001 to 72.0% in 2010. The fastest growing industry in this sector has been wholesale and retail trade, which grew at an average annual growth rate of 3.4% between 2001 and 2010, compared to an average annual growth rate of 2.7% for total service sector real GDP (2002 constant dollars). The goods-producing sector constituted 28.0% of real GDP at basic prices in 2010, down from 32.7% in 2001. The decline was most evident in manufacturing, with its share declining from 17.4% in 2001 to 12.6% in 2010.
Total real GDP growth was 2.7% in 2006, 2.3% in 2007 and 0.8% in 2008. Amid one of the most severe recessions in Canadian history, real GDP growth was negative 3.1% in 2009 but returned to positive growth of 3.6% in 2010. In spite of continuing uncertainty in the global economy, Canada’s real GDP registered growth of 3.5%, 2.6% and 2.6% (year-over-year) in the first, second and third quarters of 2011, respectively.
Manufacturing output fell 1.4% in 2006, 2.2% in 2007, 6.7% in 2008 and 13.9% in 2009. In 2010, there was some recovery in the sector as growth in manufacturing output turned positive, growing by 7.0%. In 2011, year-over-year growth in manufacturing output remained positive, growing 5.2%, 1.5% and 2.0% in the first, second and third quarters, respectively.
The construction sector was the second largest goods-producing sector in Canada in 2010. Construction activity rose by 3.8% in 2006, 4.2% in 2007 and 3.4% in 2008 before falling 9.0% in 2009. In 2010, construction activity returned to growth, increasing 7.8%. Construction output rose 5.9% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2011 followed by growth of 4.5% and 4.3% in the second and third quarters, respectively.
Output from mining and oil and gas extraction rose 2.7% in 2006 and 0.9% in 2007 but declined 2.6% in 2008 and 9.3% in 2009. This sector returned to growth in 2010 with output growing by 6.4%. On a year-over-year basis, output growth in this sector was 9.6%, 4.4% and 6.5% in the first, second and third quarters of 2011, respectively.

Although the share of agricultural output2 in total real GDP was only 1.9% in 2010 (2002 constant dollars), agriculture is an important part of Canada’s economy and a significant contributor to foreign exchange earnings. Wheat is Canada’s principal agricultural crop and one of its largest export products by value. The wheat crop was 25.3 million tonnes in 2006, 20.1 million tonnes in 2007, 28.6 million tonnes in 2008, 26.8 million tonnes in 2009, and 23.2 million tonnes in 2010. Statistics Canada estimates wheat production to be 25.3 million tonnes in 2011.
Gross Domestic Income and Expenditure3
Nominal GDP at market prices was about $1.6 trillion in 2010. Nominal GDP grew at 5.6% in 2006, 5.5% in 2007, 4.8% in 2008, and negative 4.6% in 2009. Nominal GDP growth was 6.3% in 2010 and, on a year-over-year basis, was 5.8%, 5.7% and 5.9% in the first, second and third quarters of 2011, respectively.

EXTERNAL TRADE
Canada has continued to work towards implementing its trade goals of freer and more open markets based on internationally agreed rules and practices at multilateral, regional and bilateral levels.
At the multilateral level, Canada continues to be an active member of the World Trade Organization (“WTO”) and continues to fully participate in multilateral trade negotiations launched in Doha, Qatar in November 2001.
At the regional level, Canada is a member of the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) with both the United States and Mexico. Under NAFTA, as of January 1, 2003, virtually all tariffs for goods originating in Canada, the United States and Mexico have been eliminated.
Canada currently has bilateral free trade agreements in place with the following countries: Chile, Columbia, Costa Rica, Israel, Peru and the European Free Trade Association (Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Liechtenstein).
In January 2009, Canada removed import tariffs on a range of machinery and equipment for the purposes of stimulating domestic business investment. In March 2010, Canada began eliminating all remaining tariffs on manufacturing inputs entering the country, effectively making Canada a tariff-free zone for manufacturing. The majority of these tariffs have already been eliminated; however, some tariffs are being gradually eliminated by no later than January 1, 2015.

Canada is one of the leading trading nations of the world. Canada’s exports have always reflected the country’s high endowment in natural resources. However, Canada’s exports have diversified over time, relying less on commodities and more on finished goods. The value of commodity exports as a share of merchandise exports dropped from 68.8% in 1980 to 60.8% in 2010. There has also been considerable shift in the composition of natural resource exports as a share of total goods exports. For example, wheat accounted for 5.1% of exports and fossil fuels (crude oil and natural gas) accounted for 9.0% of exports in 1980, whereas in 2010 wheat represented only 1.1% of exports while oil and natural gas together totalled 16.2% of exports. Over this same period, the increase in exports of finished goods was led by automotive and miscellaneous end products. Canada’s merchandise imports consist mostly of manufactured goods; the two main components are machinery and equipment, and fabricated materials. Together, these components represented 51.1% of total imports during the first three quarters of 2011.
Canada and the United States are each other’s largest trading partners, reflecting the physical proximity of the two countries and their close economic and financial relationship. In 2010, trade with the United States accounted for 73.3% of the value of Canada’s merchandise exports and 62.8% of the value of Canada’s merchandise imports. According to the United States Census Bureau, trade with Canada accounted for 19.5% of the United States’ exports and 14.4% of its imports in 2010. On a year-to-date basis up to and including September, 2011, trade with Canada represented 19.2% of United States exports and 14.4% of imports, or 16.3% of total trade activity based on United States Census Bureau data.

The current account deficit was $51.5 billion (seasonally adjusted, annualized level) in the first three quarters of 2011. Over the period since 2005, the three main components of the current account have evolved as follows:
(1) | The merchandise trade surplus decreased from $49.6 billion in 2006 to a deficit of $9.0 billion in 2010. In the first three quarters of 2011, the merchandise trade deficit was an average of $1.8 billion (annualized level). |
(2) | The service account deficit worsened from $14.1 billion in 2006 to $22.8 billion in 2010. The services deficit averaged $25.1 billion (annualized level) in the first three quarters of 2011. |
(3) | The deficit on net investment income payments widened from $13.5 billion in 2006 to $16.1 billion in 2010. The investment income deficit averaged $21.8 billion in the first three quarters of 2011 (annualized level). |
Low inflation and a depreciation of the Canadian dollar helped support the merchandise trade surplus prior to 2002. An uneven recovery in the United States provided limited stimulus to exports in 2002 and an appreciation of the Canadian dollar restrained gains in the surplus when growth in the United States shifted to a higher pace in the period between 2003 and 2006. The continued appreciation of the Canadian dollar and the slowdown in the US economy helped reduce the merchandise trade surplus in 2007 and 2008. In 2009, as a result of the continued decline in international demand due to a weak US dollar and a faltering global economy, the merchandise trade balance fell into deficit. This deficit widened in 2010, reaching a level of $9.0 billion. With continuing uncertainty surrounding global economic developments, the merchandise trade balance remained in deficit through the first three quarters of 2011; though at an annualised level of $1.8 billion, the deficit has improved markedly relative to the previous year.
Canada registered net outflows in the capital and financial account of $22.8 billion in 2006, $14.7 billion in 2007 and $2.0 billion in 2008. In 2009, Canada registered a net inflow of $45.8 billion in 2009 and this inflow increased to $49.7 billion in 2010. Net inflows in the capital and financial account in the first three quarters of 2011 averaged $59.6 billion (annualized level).
Non-resident net purchases of Canadian bonds, stocks and money market instruments amounted to $31.1 billion in 2006 before declining to negative $31.1 billion in 2007. Non-resident purchases of Canadian bonds, stocks and money market instruments rebounded to $31.1 billion in 2008 and increased to $111.5 billion in 2009 and $117.4 billion in 2010. In 2011, portfolio investment from abroad moderated somewhat to $91.7 billion (annualized level) over the first three quarters.
From 1980 to the early 1990s, foreign direct investment in Canada averaged just over $5 billion annually. In the mid-1990s, foreign direct investment in Canada began to rise sharply, peaking at $99.2 billion in 2000, mostly due to foreign purchases in the technology sector. Foreign direct investment was $68.4 billion in 2006, $123.1 billion in 2007, $61.0 billion in 2008 and $24.5 billion in 2009. This level was largely maintained in 2010, with foreign direct investment reaching $24.1 that year. Over the first three quarters of 2011, foreign direct investment at annualized levels was $47.7 billion.

Canada does not have foreign exchange controls. Foreign exchange operations conducted by the Bank of Canada on behalf of the Minister of Finance are directed toward the maintenance of orderly conditions in the foreign exchange market in Canada through the purchase or sale of United States dollars for Canadian dollars. The following table shows Canada’s official international reserves on the dates indicated.

Canada’s official reserves at November 30, 2011 consisted of United States dollars in the amount of U.S.$32,527 million, U.S.$190 million in gold (valued at U.S.$1,746 per fine ounce), U.S.$3,796 million in the form of the reserve position in the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”), U.S.$9,061 million in Special Drawing Rights (“SDRs”) and U.S.$20,166 million in other convertible currencies.
Beginning in 1978, transactions relating to foreign currency debt undertaken for reserve management purposes have had an important effect on the level of official reserves. The “Canada Bills” program was launched in October 1986. Under this program, U.S. dollar-denominated short-term notes are issued in the United States money market. There were U.S.$2,424 million of Canada Bills outstanding on November 30, 2011. The “Canada Notes” program was launched in March 1996. Canada Notes are interest-bearing marketable notes that mature not less than nine months from their date of issue. As of November 30, 2011, there were no outstanding Canada Notes. A Euro Medium-Term Notes (EMTN) program was launched in March 1997. EMTNs are interest bearing, foreign currency medium-term notes issued outside the United States and Canada and maturities can range from short-term to long-term. As of November 30, 2011, there were no outstanding EMTNs. As of November 30, 2011, U.S.$3,053 million and Euro 2,000 million in foreign currency denominated bonds remained outstanding comprised of two global bond issues, and three Petro Canada bond issues assumed by the Government of Canada on February 5, 2001, on the dissolution of Petro Canada Limited.

GOVERNMENT FINANCES
Introduction
The financial structure of the Government of Canada rests on a constitutional and statutory framework dating back to the British North America Act, 1867. That Act, which has been renamed the Constitution Act, 1867, gave constitutional foundation to the principles of financing that are basic to responsible government, while other necessary financial administrative machinery and procedures were established by subsequent legislation, most notably the Financial Administration Act. The proclamation in 1982 of the Constitution Act, 1982 terminated British legislative jurisdiction over Canada’s Constitution in accordance with an amending formula that permits amendment of the Constitution without resorting to the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
Within the confines of the Constitution, the authority of Parliament is supreme. Ultimate control of the public purse and the financial structure of the Government rests with Parliament. This is reflected in the fundamental principles that no tax shall be imposed and no money shall be spent without the authority of Parliament, and that expenditures shall be made only for the purposes authorized by Parliament.
Public money received by the Government is deposited in the Consolidated Revenue Fund of Canada. Withdrawals of public money out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund may not be made without the authority of Parliament.
The Government has two major sources of money: budgetary revenues and borrowing. The main sources of revenue are personal and corporate income taxes, employment insurance premiums and excise taxes and duties. These revenues are authorized by specific acts passed by Parliament. The Government’s revenues also include those of consolidated Crown corporations and other entities, net gains/losses from enterprise Crown corporations (such as the Bank of Canada, Export Development Canada and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation), foreign exchange revenues and other revenues (primarily revenues from the sales of goods and services). The other major source of money to finance Government operations is borrowing. Borrowing authority is established by acts of Parliament and borrowing limits are established by Orders in Council. The main sources of borrowing are marketable bonds, treasury bills and retail debt.
Parliament authorizes the disbursement of moneys out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund by means of Appropriation Acts passed on an annual basis by Parliament and based on the Main Estimates submitted by the various departments. In addition to the Appropriation Acts, authority for payments may also be found in certain statutes which authorize certain payments out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund. Expenditures for public debt charges, social security payments and transfers to other levels of government are authorized in this way. Appropriations may also be made by the Governor in Council for urgent payments. Such appropriations may be made only when Parliament is not in session and must be laid before Parliament during the subsequent session.
Information on the Government’s planned revenues and expenditures is presented to Parliament primarily in two documents: the Budget and the Main Estimates, which are both presented in the House of Commons. The Budget, which may be delivered at any time during the fiscal year, provides the occasion on which the Minister of Finance generally brings under review the whole financial position of the Government, present and prospective, and announces the Government’s plans and proposals. The Main Estimates are tabled (i.e., introduced) once each year and outline the Parliamentary authority, either existing or required, for disbursements. Supplementary Estimates may also be tabled during the year to provide authority for spending as the need arises.
The considerations for overall resource availability and demands for new policies and programs are reconciled through the establishment of five year economic and fiscal projections reflecting Government priorities. The projections are released in an Economic and Fiscal Update in the fall for pre-budget consultation purposes. To incorporate objective economic assumptions, the fiscal projection is based on the average of private sector economic forecasts.
For financial reporting purposes, the Government of Canada includes all departments, agencies, corporations, organizations and funds which are controlled by the Government. For financial reporting
18
purposes, control is defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an organization with benefits from the organization’s activities being expected, or the risk of loss being assumed by the Government. All organizations that are listed in the Financial Administration Act or that are Crown corporations as defined by the Financial Administration Act are included for financial reporting purposes. Other organizations not listed in the Financial Administration Act may also meet the definition of control and they are included in the Government’s reporting entity if their revenues, expenses, assets or liabilities are significant. The financial activities of all these entities are consolidated in the Government’s financial statements, except for enterprise Crown corporations and other government business enterprises, which are not dependent on the Government for financing their activities. These corporations are reported under the modified equity basis of accounting.
The primary source of information on all actual financial transactions of the Government is the Public Accounts of Canada, which is required by the Financial Administration Act to be tabled in Parliament each year. The other chief accountability reports are the statements of budgetary and non-budgetary financial transactions and of the Government’s cash and debt position published monthly in The Fiscal Monitor and in the Annual Financial Report.
The financial statements of the Government of Canada are presented on a full accrual basis of accounting, recording government revenues and expenses when they are earned or incurred, regardless of when the cash is received or paid. The Government’s fiscal anchor is the budgetary balance, which provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date picture of the financial situation. The accumulated deficit is equal to total liabilities less total assets — both financial and non-financial. Financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, foreign exchange accounts, and loans, investments and advances. Non-financial assets include tangible capital assets, such as land and buildings, inventories and prepaid expenses. The annual change in the accumulated deficit is equal to the budgetary balance plus other comprehensive income or loss. It is the accumulation of the annual surpluses and deficits in the past that represents the federal debt and is the main measure of debt. Net debt, which is a different measure of the Government’s financial position, represents total liabilities less its financial assets.
Fiscal Policy
The budgetary deficit/surplus — the budgetary balance — is the most comprehensive measure of the Government’s fiscal results. It is presented on a full accrual basis of accounting, recording government assets and liabilities when they are earned or incurred, regardless of when the cash is received or paid. In addition, the budgetary balance includes only those activities over which the Government has control for financial reporting purposes.
Between fiscal 1997-98 and fiscal 2007-08, the Government recorded annual budgetary surpluses ranging between $1.5 billion (fiscal 2004-05) and $19.9 billion (fiscal 2000-01). The onset of the global recession in 2008 resulted in a budgetary deficit $5.8 billion in fiscal 2008-09, followed by budgetary deficits of $55.6 billion and $33.4 billion in fiscal 2009-10 and 2010-11, respectively. Roughly half of the $33.4 billion deficit of fiscal 2010-11 was attributable to actions taken under Canada’s Economic Action Plan, which has provided significant additional support to Canadians in the form of personal income tax reductions, enhanced Employment Insurance (EI) benefits, investments in infrastructure and support for housing, support for industries and communities, and actions to improve access to financing. Federal debt — the accumulation of annual deficits and surpluses since Confederation was 33.9% of GDP in fiscal 2010-11, down slightly from a year earlier and remaining well below its peak of 68.4% in fiscal 1995-96. Program expenses decreased by $5.2 billion, or 2.1%, over the prior year. As a percentage of GDP, program expenses decreased to 14.7% in fiscal 2010-11, down 1.3 percentage points over fiscal 2009-10. As a percentage of revenues, public debt charges were 13.0% in fiscal 2010-11, down from a peak of 37.6% in fiscal 1990-91.
Financial requirements/source measures the difference between cash coming in to the Government and cash going out. It differs from the budgetary balance in that it includes transactions in loans, investments and advances, federal employees’ pension accounts, other specified purpose accounts, foreign exchange activities,
19
and changes in other financial assets, liabilities and non-financial assets. These activities are included as part of non-budgetary transactions. Adjustments for the effects of non-cash items included in the budgetary balance and for accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments are also reflected in non-budgetary transactions.
In contrast to the large financial requirements observed from the mid-1970s through to the mid-1990s, financial surpluses were recorded in ten of the eleven years between fiscal year 1997-98 to fiscal year 2007-08. There was a financial requirement of $46.2 billion in 2010–11, compared to a financial requirement of $63.6 billion in 2009–10. The Government financed this requirement in 2010-11 by increasing unmatured debt by $32.0 billion and reducing its cash balances by $14.1 billion. Unmatured debt as a percentage of GDP stood at 36.4% in fiscal 2010-11, down 21.3 percentage points from the peak of 57.7% in fiscal 1995-96.
Budgetary Revenue
The Government reports revenue on an accrual basis in the period in which the event that gave rise to the revenue took place. Income tax revenue is recognized when the taxpayer has earned the income subject to tax. Personal income taxes accounted for about 48% and corporate income taxes accounted for about 13% of Government revenue in fiscal 2010-11.
There are currently four federal income tax brackets for individuals: 15%, 22%, 26% and 29%. For 2011, the taxable income thresholds at which these brackets apply, indexed annually to account for inflation, are as follows: 15% on taxable income up to $41,544, 22% on taxable income over $41,544 and up to $83,088, 26% on taxable income over $83,088 and up to $128,800 and 29% on taxable income above $128,800.
The general federal corporate income tax rate in 2011 is 16.5%. This general rate is scheduled to fall to 15% in 2012. The small business deduction reduces the federal corporate income tax rate applied to the first $500,000 of qualifying active business income of a Canadian-controlled private corporation to 11%.
Capital gains are taxed at a preferred income tax rate under which only one-half of a realized gain is included in income, and then subject to tax at the applicable personal or corporate income tax rate.
The federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a broad-based value-added tax, which is applied to the sale of most goods and services at a rate of 5% in 2011. Food for home consumption, prescription drugs, residential rents, sales of existing houses and educational and healthcare services are generally not subject to tax.
Federal excise taxes and duties are imposed on selected goods, including certain fuels, tobacco and alcohol. Customs duties are imposed on a wide range of goods.
In addition, the Government obtains non-tax revenues in the form of revenues from consolidated Crown corporations and other entities, net gains/losses from enterprise Crown corporations (such as the Bank of Canada, Export Development Canada and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation), foreign exchange revenues, employment insurance premium revenues and other revenues (primarily from the sale of goods and services).
Budgetary Expenses
Budgetary expenses encompass the cost of servicing the public debt, the operating expenses of Government departments and agencies, grants and contributions to other levels of government, organizations and individuals, and subsidies. Under full accrual accounting, the cost of using capital assets is amortized over its estimated useful life.
Transfer payments includes a range of federal social spending programs designed to enhance the quality of life of Canadians, particularly those who have modest incomes or who are disadvantaged. It includes income support — most notably for the elderly and unemployed; transfers to the provinces for health, education and social assistance; and programs for aboriginal Canadians.

Loans, Investments and Advances
The Government’s financial assets include loans and advances to, or investments in, its enterprise Crown corporations, other governments and other individuals and organizations.
Loans, investments and advances by the Government resulted in a net requirement of funds of $5.9 billion in fiscal 2010-11.
Pension and Other Future Benefits
Public Sector Pensions. The Government is responsible for defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all of its full-time employees (including the Public Service, Canadian Forces, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and certain Crown corporations) as well as federally appointed judges and Members of Parliament. Pension benefits are generally calculated by reference to the highest earnings for a specific period of time. They are related to years of service and are indexed to inflation. Until March 31, 2000, separate market invested funds were not set aside to provide for payment of these pension benefits. Beginning on April 1, 2000, new employer and employee contributions to the pension plans are transferred to the Public Sector Pension Investment Board. Its goal is to achieve maximum rates of return on investments without undue risk, while respecting the requirements and financial obligations of each of the public sector pension plans. At March 31, 2011, the net liability in respect of these accounts totalled $146.1 billion. This net liability is comprised of the accrued benefit obligation determined as of March 31, 2011, which amounted to $213.3 billion, less pension plan assets of $54.0 billion and unamortized pension adjustments of -$13.2 billion. In fiscal 2010-11 the net liability to the public sector pensions increased by $3.3 billion.
Other Employee and Veteran Future Benefits. The Government also sponsors a variety of other future benefit plans from which employees and other former employees can benefit, during or after employment or upon retirement. The cost of these benefits can accrue either during the service life of employees or upon occurrence of an event giving rise to the liability under the terms of the plans. The Government is liable for future payments for disability and other benefits paid to war veterans, as well as Canadian Forces retired veterans and still-serving members, their beneficiaries and dependants. Other significant benefits for which the Government is liable include the health care and dental plans available to retired employees and their dependants, severance benefits and workers’ compensation benefits. All these plans are unfunded. The health care and dental plans are contributory plans.
Other Liabilities
Other Liabilities. The Government acts as an insurer and/or administrator of a number of annuities and deposit and trust accounts, as well as specified purpose accounts. The balance outstanding of these accounts amounted to $6.3 billion at March 31, 2011.
Canada Pension Plan Liability. The Canada Pension Plan (the “Plan”) was established in 1965 and is a federal-provincial program for compulsory and contributory social insurance. It operates in all parts of Canada, except for Quebec which has a comparable program. The Government administers the Plan under joint control with the participating provinces. Until 1997, the Plan was financed on an essentially pay-as-you-go basis, which means that pensions and benefits were paid out of current contributions (with some interest earned by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Fund). In December 1997, the Government passed legislation to ensure that the Plan remains sustainable over the long term and to allow fuller funding. Changes included a more rapid increase in contribution rates, a new investment policy, as well as changes to calculations of, and eligibility criteria to, some benefits. Under the new investment policy which came into effect April 1, 1998, the Plan’s funds are prudently invested by an independent CPP Investment Board in a diversified portfolio of securities, including equities, under generally the same rules that apply to other private and public pension funds.
Contributions are paid equally by employers and employees and self-employed workers pay the full amount. The Plan is funded on a steady-state basis with contributions at 9.9% of pensionable earnings. As administrator, the Government’s authority to spend is limited to the Plan’s net assets of $151.6 billion at
22
March 31, 2011 ($131.4 billion at March 31, 2010). Of these assets, $108.4 billion was transferred to the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and $23 million was a direct liability of the Government. The balance of $43.2 billion represents net income from operations receivables and unrealized gains.
Non-Financial Assets
Non-financial assets include the net book value of the Government’s capital assets. Capital assets include land, buildings, works and infrastructure such as roads and bridges, machinery and equipment, ships, aircraft and other vehicles. Non-financial assets also include inventories and prepaid expenses. Non-financial assets increased by $3.2 billion to $66.6 billion in fiscal 2010-11 from $63.4 billion in fiscal 2009-10.
Other Transactions
This category includes tax receivables, other receivables, the provincial and territorial tax collection agreements account, tax payables and other liabilities. These transactions, due to their nature, are subject to wide fluctuations. They resulted in a requirement of $11.3 billion in fiscal 2010-11 and were a source of $8.9 billion in fiscal 2009-10.
Foreign Exchange Transactions
Foreign exchange transactions represent all transactions in international reserves held in the Exchange Fund Account (“EFA”). The objectives of the EFA are to provide general foreign currency liquidity for the Government and promote orderly conditions in the foreign exchange market. The EFA includes foreign currency investments, gold holdings and assets related to Canada’s commitment to the International Monetary Fund.

Unmatured Market Debt
The Government’s unmatured market debt represents financial obligations resulting from the sale of marketable bonds, treasury bills, Canada Savings Bonds, Canada Premium Bonds, Canada Investment Bonds, Canada Bills, Canada Notes and global foreign currency marketable bonds, as well as from non-marketable obligations issued to the Canada Pension Plan Investment Fund.
Borrowing is one of the two major sources of money available to the Government to finance its operations. The changes in unmatured market debt payable in Canadian currency have been broadly consistent with changes in financial requirements. The changes in unmatured market debt payable in foreign currency have been associated with developments in foreign exchange markets and related requirements to supplement foreign exchange reserves through foreign borrowing.

Total Canadian currency unmatured market debt was $611,578 million on September 30, 2011, an increase of $22,000 million from March 31, 2011. The increase stemmed from an increase in marketable bonds ($10,792 million) and an increase in Treasury Bills ($11,500 million). Marketable bonds are interest-bearing obligations generally available to all investors. In the period April 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011, the Government issued an aggregate of $49,400 million of marketable bonds in Canadian currency and
25
redeemed $39,355 million (including $17,770 million in repurchased and cancelled bonds), for a net increase of $10,045 million. This was further increased by $747 million for the inflation compensation on Real Return Bonds, resulting in a net increase of $10,792 million in marketable bonds. Treasury bills are obligations issued at a discount with maturities generally of three months, six months and one year. In the period April 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011, the amount of treasury bills outstanding increased by $11,500 million. Canada Savings Bonds are offered to individual Canadian residents and differ from other bonds in that they can be redeemed prior to maturity at the option of the holder for the full face value, plus accrued interest. In the period April 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011, the amount of unmatured Canada Savings Bonds outstanding decreased by $195 million. Canada Premium Bonds are a retail investment and savings product introduced in 1998 that replaced the Canada Registered Retirement Savings Plan Bonds (“Canada RRSP Bonds”). They offer a higher interest rate compared to Canada Savings Bonds and are redeemable once a year, on the anniversary of the issue date and during the 30 days thereafter without penalty. In the period April 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011, the amount of unmatured Canada Premium Bonds outstanding decreased by $82 million. Canada Investment Bonds, piloted through investment dealers from November 1, 2003 to April 1, 2004, were discontinued. They offer a fixed rate of interest for the full term to maturity. The Canada Investment Bonds carry a higher rate of interest than the Canada Savings Bonds or the Canada Premium Bonds over the equivalent priced period. They are non-cashable prior to maturity but are transferable to other eligible registration types. In the period November 1, 2006 to April 30, 2007, all of the Canada Investment Bonds matured bringing the outstanding balance to nil. Obligations issued to Canada Pension Plan Investment Fund are non-marketable.
Total foreign currency unmatured market debt was $8,436 million on September 30, 2011, an increase of $756 million from March 31, 2011. Canada Bills are short-term U.S. dollar-denominated unsecured obligations issued in the U.S. money market with a term to maturity of not more than 270 days. Canada Notes are usually U.S. dollar-denominated interest-bearing marketable notes that mature not less than nine months from their date of issue. The Euro Medium Term Notes are medium-term notes issued outside the United States and Canada. Notes issued under this program can be denominated in a range of currencies and structured to meet investor demand. The other marketable bonds are comprised of two global bond issues and three Petro Canada bond issues, and are denominated in U.S. dollars and other foreign currencies. The Petro Canada bond issues were assumed by the Government of Canada on February 5, 2011 on the dissolution of Petro Canada Limited.
In 1996, Canada implemented the EFA foreign currency swap program. Under these foreign exchange swaps, Canadian dollar liabilities are swapped into liabilities in foreign currencies, allowing Canada to raise foreign exchange reserves cost effectively. As of September 30, 2011, $29,953 million of Canadian dollars have been swapped for U.S.$27,130 million, $15,576 million of Canadian dollars have been swapped for Euro 10,595 million and $404 million Canadian dollars have been swapped for ¥33 billion.

Crown Corporations
Except for enterprise Crown corporations and other government business enterprises, which are reported under the modified equity basis of accounting, all Government organizations are consolidated in the financial statements.
The payment of all money borrowed by agent Crown corporations is a charge on and payable out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund. Such borrowings constitute unconditional obligations of the Government and are recorded as such in the accounts of Canada, net of borrowings expected to be repaid directly by these corporations. Borrowings expected to be repaid by enterprise Crown corporations and other government business enterprises amounted to $230,249 million as at March 31, 2011. Since fiscal 2007-08, the Government has met all of the borrowing needs of the Business Development Bank of Canada, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and Farm Credit Canada through direct lending. The following table summarizes the unaudited financial information of consolidated Crown corporations, other entities and enterprise Crown corporations as at March 31, 2011.

DEBT RECORD
Canada has always paid the full face amount of the principal and interest on every direct obligation issued by it and every indirect obligation on which it has been required to implement its guarantee, promptly when due. During war, where such payment would have violated laws or regulations forbidding trading with the enemy, payment was made to a custodian of enemy property.

MONETARY AND BANKING SYSTEM
Bank of Canada
The Bank of Canada (the “Bank”) was incorporated in 1934 under the Bank of Canada Act (in this section referred to as the “Act”) as Canada’s central bank. All of the capital stock of the Bank is owned by the Government. The Act gives the Bank the responsibility for the conduct of monetary policy and confers specific powers for discharging that responsibility.
The Bank has the sole right to issue notes for circulation in Canada. The Bank acts as the fiscal agent of the Government of Canada and, in this role, the Bank participates in the management of the public debt. Specifically, the Bank is responsible for handling the Government’s new market debt borrowings, administering its outstanding market debt and making payments for interest and market debt redemption on its behalf.
The Bank may buy or sell various types of securities, including securities issued or guaranteed by Canada or any province, securities issued or guaranteed by the Government of the United States of America or Japan or the government of a country in the European Union. For purposes of conducting monetary policy or promoting the stability of the Canadian financial system, the Bank may buy or sell from or to any person securities and any other financial instruments other than instruments that evidence an ownership interest or right in or to an entity, that comply with the policy established by the Governor and published in the Canada Gazette. The Bank may buy and sell foreign currencies, SDRs issued by the IMF, coin and gold and silver bullion. The Bank may open accounts with other central banks, at the Bank for International Settlements (“BIS”) and at commercial banks. The Bank may accept deposits from the Government or any of its corporations or agencies, any province, any chartered bank or any member of the Canadian Payments Association. The Bank pays interest to the Government on deposits held at the Bank and may pay interest to member institutions of the Canadian Payments Association on deposits accepted for certain specified purposes. It may also accept deposits from other central banks and official international financial organizations and may pay interest on such deposits. The Bank does not accept deposits from individuals nor does it compete with the chartered banks in the commercial banking field. The Bank is not required to maintain gold or foreign exchange reserves against its liabilities.
The Bank may, on the pledge of certain classes of securities or property, make loans or advances for periods not exceeding six months to chartered banks, and to any other members of the Canadian Payments Association. The Bank Rate is the minimum rate at which the Bank is prepared to make loans or advances. Although the Bank has the power to make loans or advances under certain conditions and for limited periods to the Government or any province, such loans are extremely rare and no such loans have been made in over 35 years.
The framework for the implementation of monetary policy by the Bank was changed considerably on two occasions during the 1990s, first as a result of the phased elimination of reserve requirements between June 1992 and July 1994, and second, with the introduction of a real-time large-value settlement system (the “Large Value Transfer System” or “LVTS”) in February 1999.
The central mechanisms through which the Bank currently implements monetary policy are the LVTS and a 50-basis-point operating band for the overnight interest rate adopted by the Bank in mid 1994. Currently, the Bank targets the level of excess settlement balances in the LVTS at a minimum of $25 million. Any participant in the LVTS with a deficit funds position should therefore be aware that there will be one or more participants with offsetting surplus positions that are potential counterparties for transactions at market rates. The Bank encourages these transactions by paying an interest rate on positive balances held overnight by LVTS participants at the lower limit of its operating band and charging an interest rate on overdraft loans to LVTS participants at the upper limit of the band (which is also the Bank Rate). Thus the overnight rate should stay within the operating band since participants are aware that they can earn at least the lower limit of the band on positive balances and need not pay more than the upper limit to cover shortfalls. Moreover, the Bank is prepared to enter into overnight buyback transactions to reinforce its target rate at the midpoint of the operating band. Through its influence on the interest rate for overnight funds, the Bank is able to influence other short-term interest rates, the exchange rate, aggregate demand and, ultimately, inflation.
30
The Bank controls the level of LVTS settlement balances available to the financial system by adjusting the level of Government deposits held at financial institutions through twice-daily auctions of Government cash balances.
The Act provides for regular consultation between the Governor of the Bank and the Minister of Finance as well as for a formal procedure whereby, in the event of a disagreement between the Government and the Bank which cannot be resolved, the Government may issue a directive to the Bank as to the monetary policy that it is to follow. The directive must be in writing, in specific terms, applicable for a specified period and published forthwith. This provision in the Act makes it clear that the Government must take the ultimate responsibility for monetary policy, but the Bank is in no way relieved of its responsibility for monetary policy and its execution so long as a directive is not in effect. No directive has ever been issued.
The Payment Clearing and Settlement Act, 1996 gives the Bank formal responsibility for the regulatory oversight of major clearing and settlement systems. Specifically, the Bank will review all eligible systems and identify their potential to cause systemic risk. Systems with this potential are subject to designation under the Payment Clearing and Settlement Act, 1996. Designated systems will have to satisfy the Bank that they have appropriate risk-control mechanisms in place. The Bank may carry out examinations and, in situations where it is judged that systemic risk is being inadequately controlled, the Governor of the Bank may issue directives to a designated system.
The Payment Clearing and Settlement Act, 1996 also gives the Bank new powers to provide certain services. In particular, the Bank can provide a guarantee of settlement to the participants of designated systems.
Other Government Financial Institutions
Export Development Canada (“EDC”) was established on October 1, 1969 for the purpose of facilitating and developing trade between Canada and other countries. EDC is the successor to the Export Credits Insurance Corporation which commenced operations in 1944. Activities were originally limited to insuring Canadian exporters against non-payment of credits extended to foreign buyers. To further enhance Canada’s growing export trade, EDC has introduced an export loans program, a foreign investment guarantees program and a surety risk protection insurance program. The Federal Business Development Bank was established in 1975 as the successor to the Industrial Development Bank which was established in 1944 as a subsidiary of the Bank of Canada. In 1995, the Federal Business Development Bank was continued as the Business Development Bank of Canada (“BDC”). The purpose of the BDC is to provide financial and management services to Canadian businesses, with a focus on small and medium-sized enterprises in Canada. The Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, established in 1967, insures deposits payable in Canada and in Canadian currency at banks and other financial institutions up to $100,000 per depositor. Farm Credit Canada, established in 1959, provides financial and management services to farms and agrifood businesses. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (formerly the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, or “CMHC”) was incorporated in 1945 to insure mortgage loans made by approved lenders and to make direct mortgage loans. Since then, CMHC’s role in the housing market has expanded beyond mortgage loan insurance to include the provision of mortgage-backed securities and related guarantees, housing policy and advice, and housing research.
Chartered Banks
Canada’s banks are all federally incorporated and are regulated under the Bank Act. The Bank Act sets out the rules for the structure and operation of these institutions. It is the current practice in Canada to revise the Bank Act after intervals of approximately five years with the most recent revisions being implemented in April 2007. The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) is the federal agency responsible for supervising banks.
Under the Bank Act, foreign banks are permitted to incorporate subsidiaries by letters patent. In June 1999, legislation was passed to allow foreign banks to establish specialized, commercially focused branches in Canada. Foreign banks can operate full-service branches and lending branches. As at October 1, 2011, the banking system consisted of 22 domestic banks, 25 foreign bank subsidiaries, 22 full-service foreign bank branches and 6 foreign bank lending branches. Foreign branches are mainly permitted to raise wholesale
31
deposits (not insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC)), and a limited amount of CDIC-insured deposits subject to a strict cap. Moreover, foreign branches are not subject to OSFI’s minimum capital adequacy ratios; however, they are required to maintain, instead, a minimum capital equivalent deposit amount with a domestic financial institution.
Financial Sector Restructuring
The Government of Canada is responsible for ensuring the financial sector regulatory framework operates efficiently and effectively for consumers and businesses while maintaining the safety of institutions and soundness of the sector. The mandatory five-year review of the financial institutions statutes, which comprises the Bank Act, the Insurance Companies Act, the Trust and Loan Companies Act and the Cooperative Credit Associations Act, ensures Canada remains a global leader in financial services. This practice sets Canada apart from virtually every other country in the world. On September 20, 2010 the Government of Canada launched its five-year review of the financial sector legislation. The sunset date for the financial institutions statutes is April 20, 2012. As a result of this Review, the Government, as committed to in Budget 2011, introduced the Financial System Review Act (Bill S-5) on November 23, 2011 to help ensure Canada continues to have a strong and secure financial system. The Act includes measures to:
| • | | Update financial institutions legislation to promote financial stability and ensure Canada’s financial institutions continue to operate in a competitive, efficient and stable environment; |
| • | | Fine-tune the consumer protection framework, including enhancing the supervisory powers of the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada; and |
| • | | Improve efficiency by reducing the administrative burden on financial institutions and adding regulatory flexibility. |
To promote financial stability and the continued growth and competitiveness of the credit union sector, the Government of Canada introduced amendments to the Bank Act in Budget 2010 establishing a framework for federal credit unions. Once in force, the framework will allow credit unions to incorporate federally. Federal credit unions will be subject to supervisory and regulatory requirements consistent with other federally regulated deposit taking institutions.
In Budget 2011, Canada reaffirmed its commitment to work with willing provinces and territories to establish the Canadian Securities Regulatory Authority (CSRA). The CSRA would consolidate the governance, legislation, and administration of securities in Canada, which would strengthen enforcement, enhance accountability, and better support financial stability. In 2010, Canada tabled the proposed Canadian Securities Act for information in Parliament, which would establish the CSRA and set out the legal framework to regulate securities in provinces and territories that have opted in to the federal regime. At the same time, Canada referred the proposed Act to the Supreme Court of Canada for a ruling on whether Parliament has the constitutional authority to enact the proposed legislation. With a favourable decision, Canada will move forward expeditiously to establish the CSRA.
Monetary Policy and Interest Rate Developments
The ultimate objective of Canadian monetary policy is to promote good overall economic performance, namely by keeping inflation low, stable and predictable.
In February 1991, the Government and the Bank jointly announced a series of targets for reducing total CPI inflation to the mid-point of a range of 1% to 3% by the end of 1995. This inflation-control target range has been extended a number of times. In November 2011, the Government and the Bank renewed Canada’s inflation-control framework for a further five-year period. Monetary policy will continue to aim at keeping inflation at the 2% target mid-point, both to maximize the likelihood that inflation stays within the target range and to increase the predictability of inflation over the longer term.
The policy instrument the Bank uses to influence monetary conditions is the overnight rate target, which is the mid-point of the Bank’s operating band for overnight financing. The Bank constantly reassesses the level of the overnight rate target necessary to achieve the inflation-control targets.
32
Since November 2000, the Bank has moved to eight fixed announcement dates for the overnight rate target to make monetary policy more effective. Fixed dates have reduced the uncertainty in financial markets associated with not knowing exactly when changes in the overnight rate target may be announced, and contributed to the improved functioning of financial markets. Fixed dates have provided a regular opportunity to emphasize the medium-term perspective of monetary policy and increased the Bank’s transparency, accountability and dialogue with the public.
Between January 2008 and April 2009, the ongoing turmoil in financial markets and the resulting deterioration in real economic activity both domestically and abroad led the Bank of Canada to lower its overnight rate target by a total of 400 basis points to the effective lower bound of 0.25 per cent. The Bank of Canada committed, conditional on the inflation outlook, to maintain this rate until the end of the second quarter of 2010. In addition, the Bank undertook a series of operations to reinforce its overnight target rate and to support market liquidity. The Bank’s initiatives came in the context of unprecedented coordinated actions across major central banks to support market liquidity and stabilize global financial markets.
The Bank left the overnight rate target unchanged at the effective lower bound of 0.25 percent for the remainder of 2009 as well as the beginning of 2010. Strong growth during the second half of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010 indicated that the Canadian recovery was on track and on June 1, 2010 the Bank of Canada announced an increase of 25 basis points in the overnight rate, raising the target to 0.5 percent. With employment and output levels approaching pre-recession peaks, the Bank announced further 25 basis point increases on the July 20, 2010 and September 8, 2010 fixed announcement dates, effectively setting the overnight rate target at 1 percent. Since this announcement, the overnight rate target has remained at 1 percent.
33
Following the latest release of the Monetary Policy Report on October 26, 2011, the Bank maintains that there is considerable monetary stimulus in Canada. While the economy is still forecasted to grow by 2.1% in 2011 and 1.9% in 2012, the slowdown in global growth as a result of the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and continued deleveraging by banks and households has provided a significant downside risk to economic growth going forward. This weaker growth profile has also dampened projected inflationary pressures. The latest Monetary Policy Report notes that the Bank will closely monitor economic developments in Canada and abroad and that it will continue to set monetary policy consistent with attaining the 2 percent inflation target over the medium term.

Membership in International Economic Organizations
As of December 31, 2010, Canada’s paid-up quota in the IMF is SDR 6,369.2 million. On December 31, 2010, one SDR equalled Cdn $1.54.
Canada also participates in the General Arrangements to Borrow (the “GAB”) and the New Arrangements to
34
Borrow (the “NAB”) which provide special financial resources to the IMF. Canada’s total commitment under the GAB and the NAB amount to SDR 1,396.0 million. As of December 31, 2010, there were no loans outstanding to the IMF under the GAB and the NAB. Additionally, on July 6th, 2009, Canada entered into a two year, US$10 billion, temporary borrowing agreement with the IMF to bolster its lending resources. This credit line provides additional liquidity to the IMF, as needed. The credit line was extended until January 31, 2013.
Canada is also a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a party to the World Trade Organization and a shareholder (through the Bank) of the BIS. Canada’s participation in other international development institutions is summarized in the table below.

CLAIMS AND PENDING AND THREATENED LITIGATION
There are thousands of claims and pending and threatened litigation cases outstanding against the Government. These claims include items with pleading amounts and items where an amount is not specified. While the total amount claimed in these actions is significant, their outcomes are not determinable. As at March 31, 2011, the Government had recorded an allowance for claims and litigation where it is likely that there will be a future payment and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made. Claims and litigation for which the outcome is not determinable and a reasonable estimate can be made were estimated at approximately $4,211 million ($4,300 million in 2010). Certain large and significant claims are described below:
Comprehensive Land Claims
Comprehensive land claims are negotiated in areas where aboriginal title has not been dealt with by treaty or by other legal methods. In such cases, the claim is based on an aboriginal group’s traditional use and occupancy of that land. As of March 31, 2011, there were 80 (76 in 2010) comprehensive land claims under negotiation, accepted for negotiation or under review. A liability of $3,772 million ($3,800 million in 2010) was estimated for claims that had progressed to a point where quantification was possible. The remaining claims were still in the early stage of negotiations and could not yet be quantified as at March 31, 2011.
Assessed Taxes Under Objection or Appeal
As at March 31, 2011, an amount of $17,117 million ($17,102 million in 2010) of previously assessed federal and provincial taxes was under objection at Canada Revenue Agency and $3,299 million ($3,509 million in 2010) was being appealed to either the Tax Court of Canada, the Federal Court of Canada or the Supreme Court of Canada.
35
Other
In September 1999, the Public Service Superannuation Act, the Canadian Forces Superannuation Act and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superannuation Act were amended to enable the Government to deal with excess amounts in the superannuation accounts and pension funds governed by these Acts. The legal validity of these provisions was challenged in the Courts. On November 20, 2007, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice rendered its decision and dismissed all the claims of the plaintiffs. The Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed the plaintiffs’ appeal on October 8, 2010. In a decision released on May 5, 2011, the plaintiffs’ application for leave to appeal was granted by the Supreme Court of Canada. As at March 31, 2011, the outcome was not determinable.
