Convinced that folks will now swallow just about any medicine they're told to take, the House of Commons of Canada has decided to give the "Cypriot Banking Plan" a whirl themselves. Or at least set the stage.
Don't believe me? Take a peek at what's buried in the most recent "Economic Action Plan" (PDF) on pages 144 and 145. I'll save you the trouble of digging. Here are the important passages...
Gee, I wonder what the underlined portion means. Also, notice that the subtitle at the top of the page is "Helping Manufacturers and Businesses Succeed in the Global Economy."
lol That's cute.

The Government intends to implement a comprehensive risk management framework for Canada’s systemically important banks. This framework will be consistent with reforms in other countries and key international standards, such as the Financial Stability Board’s Key Attributes of Effective Resolution Regimes for Financial Institutions, and will work alongside the existing Canadian regulatory capital regime. The risk management framework will include the following elements:
- The Government proposes to implement a "bail-in" regime for systemically important banks. This regime will be designed to ensure that, in the unlikely event that a systemically important bank depletes its capital, the bank can be recapitalized and returned to viability through the very rapid conversion of certain bank liabilities into regulatory capital. This will reduce risks for taxpayers. The Government will consult stakeholders on how best to implement a bail-in regime in Canada. Implementation timelines will allow for a smooth transition for affected institutions, investors and other market participants.
