July 10 (Bloomberg) -- Bank of Canada Senior Deputy Governor Paul Jenkins said the country’s banks are finding it easier to obtain funding and there is less need for the central bank to provide liquidity than in other countries.

The comments came in a slide show presentation Jenkins is giving today at a conference in Cartagena, Colombia, titled “Canada’s Financial Sector: Responses to the Global Crisis.”

Jenkins made no reference to current economic conditions or future interest rate decisions in the slides, which were posted on the Bank of Canada’s Web site.
