Canadian Finance Minister Joe Oliver released regulatory proposals aimed at relieving taxpayers from the burden of potential bailouts if key banks fail.
The proposals, which are open to public consultation until Sept. 12, will create a regime for systemically important Canadian banks that would boost capital of a failing institution by converting some liabilities into regulatory capital, according to a statement released by the finance department.
