About the Bank

The Bank's Board is responsible for the governance of the Bank and has specific duties related to finance, human resources, and administration.

The Board is composed of 12 Directors from outside the Bank, plus the Governor and the Senior Deputy Governor. The Deputy Minister of Finance sits on the Board as a non-voting member. The outside Directors come from across Canada and provide an important link to the various regions of the country. Directors are appointed for three-year terms by the Minister of Finance and may be reappointed at the end of their terms. If an appointment decision is delayed, Directors continue to fulfill their responsibilities as Board members until a new Director is named.
