REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

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

Background

The Board of Directors of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) made the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Differential Premiums By-law (the By-law) on March 3, 1999, pursuant to subsection 21(2) and paragraph 11(2)(g) of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (the CDIC Act). Subsection 21(2) of the CDIC Act authorizes the CDIC Board of Directors to make by-laws establishing a system of classifying member institutions into different categories, setting out the criteria or factors the CDIC will consider in classifying members into categories, establishing the procedures the CDIC will follow in classifying members, and fixing the amount of, or providing a manner of determining the amount of, the annual premium applicable to each category. The CDIC Board of Directors amended the By-law on January 12 and December 6, 2000; July 26, 2001; March 7, 2002; March 3, 2004; February 9 and April 15, 2005, February 8 and December 6, 2006, December 3, 2008; December 2, 2009; December 8, 2010; December 7, 2011; December 5, 2012; December 4, 2013; April 22, 2015; February 4 and December 7, 2016; December 6, 2017; December 5, 2018; March 6 and December 4, 2019; and December 9, 2020.

Issues

The CDIC annually reviews the By-law to confirm that it is up to date and that the terminology referenced in the By-law aligns with the terminology that is used in regulatory filings requested by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI). Such alignment will ensure that the CDIC member institutions have clarity on the data requirements, and that the CDIC receives the appropriate information from its member institutions. As a result, technical amendments are being made in the By-law Amending the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Differential Premiums By-law (the Amending By-law).

The amendments align the By-law with the OSFI’s Mortgage Loans Report.
