Note:
[1] Beginning with the first issue in 1997, the Government of Canada will be adopting the practice, used by market participants, to price bonds where the settlement date is less than a standard six full months from the first coupon date (i.e. a bond with a "short" first coupon). For more detailed information contact Kevin Fettig, Bank of Canada at (416) 681-2405.
