Vol. 141, No. 19 — May 12, 2007

By-law Amending Certain Exemption from Deposit Insurance By-laws Made Under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act

Statutory authority

Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act

Sponsoring agency

Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation

REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the By-law.)

Description

The Board of Directors of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation ("CDIC") proposes to make the By-law Amending Certain Exemption from Deposit Insurance By-laws Made Under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act ("Amending By-law") pursuant to paragraph 11(2)(g), subsections 26.01(3) and (4), paragraphs 26.03(1)(c) and (e) and subsection 26.03(2) of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act ("CDIC Act"). Paragraph 11(2)(g) of the CDIC Act authorizes the CDIC Board of Directors to make by-laws "prescribing anything that, by virtue of any provision of this Act, is to be prescribed by the by-laws." Subsections 26.01(3) and (4) permit the Board to make by-laws prescribing certain deposits that can be accepted without being a member of CDIC and the terms and conditions with respect to the acceptance of those deposits. Paragraphs 26.03(1)(c) and (e) require that rules related to informing depositors or relating to the fee charged by CDIC must be prescribed by by-law. Subsection 26.03(2) requires that the rate of exchange to be applied shall be determined in accordance with rules prescribed by the by-laws. The Amending By-law amends each of the following by-laws (collectively referred to as the "Exemption from Deposit Insurance By-laws"):

  • Exemption from Deposit Insurance By-law (Notice to Depositors) SOR/99-381
  • Exemption from Deposit Insurance By-law (Exemption Fee) SOR/99-382
  • Exemption from Deposit Insurance By-law (Foreign Currency Deposits) SOR/99-384
  • Exemption from Deposit Insurance By-law (Prescribed Deposits) SOR/2000-42

As a consequence of amendments to section 26.02, paragraphs 26.03(1)(b) to (e), subsections 26.04(1) and (3) and section 26.06 of the CDIC Act that received Royal Assent on March 29, 2007, all federal member institutions, not only banks, that meet the criteria are entitled to accept deposits without being a member of CDIC. In the circumstances, all references to "bank" in the Exemption from Deposit Insurance By-laws must be changed to "federal member institution."

The Amending By-law changes the word "bank" to "federal member institution" in all places it occurs in the Exemption from Deposit Insurance By-laws.

Alternatives

There are no available alternatives. The Exemption from Deposit Insurance By-laws must be amended to reflect the amendments to the CDIC Act.

Benefits and costs

The Amending By-law will align the Exemption from Deposit Insurance By-laws with the current CDIC Act. No additional costs should be attributed directly to these changes.

Consultation

As the changes are statutorily driven and technical in nature, only consultation through pre-publication in the Canada Gazette is necessary.

Compliance and enforcement

There are no compliance or enforcement issues.
