Central Bank Case Central Bank of Canada-Banque du Canada I. Roles and Mandates of Banque du Canada According to the preamble in the Bank of Canada Act,(Weir, 2012) the Bank's mandate is to: 1. Regulate credit and currency 2. Control and protect the external value of the national monetary unit 3. Use monetary action to mitigate fluctuations in the general level of production, trade prices, and employment. The Bank administers the nation’s currency, protects its value, and acts as the government's and chartered banks' official banker. The Bank of Canada's most important function is to set monetary policies that will promote a healthy economy. This is accomplished primarily through taking steps to raise and lower interest rates.

The organization of the Bank integrated new functions with functions that already existed elsewhere. Bank note operations were transferred from the Department of Finance when the Bank opened, and the offices of the Receiver General across the country became the agencies of the Bank. A new Research Division was established to provide information and advice on financial developments and on general business conditions at home and abroad. The Foreign Exchange Division and the Securities Division became operative almost immediately, though the transfer of the Public Debt Division from the Department of Finance was delayed until suitable quarters were available. This did not occur until 1938, following completion of the present Bank of Canada building at 234 Wellington Street. (Banque du Canada, 2016) In the midst of the Great Depression, the Crown-in-Council attempted to uplift the people, and created two national corporations: the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (CRBC), and the Bank of Canada. The former, established in 1932, was seen as a means to keep the country unified and uplifted in these harsh economic times. Many poor citizens found radio as an escape and used it to …show more content…
For example in Japan, when the clients send the credits proposal, one of crew in the commercial bank will come to the client’s home as the guess and not showing the real identity or they might used different legal identity, in order to search the information of the client and looking for the truth of the data that have been send to the bank as the credits proposal. If all of the data is true, the banks will considered whether the proposal accepted or rejected, and if the data is not true, automaticaly the credit proposal will rejected by the banks. (Japan, 2016) Not only in Japan, there are another commersial bank that have their own way to give the credit to the client’s.

During the period, federal government was only kept the peace, order and good government of Canada, and balance responsibilities were set to provinces such as hospitals, schools, charities, municipalities, shops, taverns, transportation within a province, onshore natural resources, and property and civil rights (Toronto). In 1949 Britain’s Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, worked as Canada's highest court and limited the federal government's responsibilities. As a result, the federal parliament could not pass laws on unemployment insurance, competition, trade, and commerce or minimum wages and maximum work hours (except in federally-regulated industries, such as banking). Besides these changes, health care also faced some issues (Historica). The price minister is the head of the federal government, who is the government’s chief speaker, main legislator, and head of Cabinet.
For Tenth National Bank, we have reason to believe that the client intercepted the paper confirmation. After we sent the paper confirmation to the bank, we received an email from Lou Jennings stating that the bank forwarded the confirmation directly to their office instead of sending it to the audit team. In addition, Mr. Jennings provided login credentials and a link to the bank’s website, which did not appear to be reliable. As per the video, “How to Fight Confirmation Fraud”, presented by the founder of confirmation.com, Brian Fox, a fictitious website can be created easily. Our skepticism toward the reliability of the website is based on the unresponsiveness of most of the links on the site; the only link that works is the login button. In addition the website appeared dated and rudimentary. Another factor we found quite strange is that the website only offers paper statement deliveries, which we find highly unusual since paper statements are easier to modify. Furthermore, based on the tracking provided by USPS, the letter is still in the shipping process with no indication that Tenth National Bank has officially received the request for confirmation. This further supports our theory that Lou Jennings intercepted the Tenth National Bank confirmation letter. In our o...
There were two major political consequences of the Great Depression. The first was that new political parties were formed in Canada. The new political parties were the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), the Social Credit Party, and the Union Nationale (UN). The CCF was founded by J.S. Woodsworth and believed in the establishment of minimum wage, accident and sickness insurance, old age pensions and unemployment insurance. The Social Credit Party was founded by William Aberhart. He believed that governments should issue money to everyone so that they could buy goods in a form of “social credits”. In the 1935 provincial elections he took 56 of 63 seats giving him a total victory. The UN was founded by Maurice Duplessis due to the union of Action Liberale Nationale and the Conservative Party. They promoted the traditional values of the Catholic Church and believed in a rural lifestyle. The second political consequence was a conflicted relationship between the federal and the provincial governments. The depression showed the federal government that provincial governments did not have enough money to carry out significant projects.
Royal Bank, wanting to expand to more parts of the world, established a branch in Havana in 1899 to take advantage of trade in sugar, cocoa, tobacco, and other Caribbean staples. This started the steady expansion of Royal Bank throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. The bank expanded to 121 international branches, stretching from Rio de Janeiro in the south to Honduras in Central America by 1925. They then established branches in London, Paris, Barcelona and New York to improve trade financing and foreign exchange with the Caribbean and South America. Under the leadership of John E . Cleghorn from 1995 to 2011, Royal Bank transformed into a broad-based financial services group. To expand further into America, they started listing common shares on the New York Stock Exchange in 1995. They also acquired Security F...
The Great Depression of 1929 to 1940 began and centered in the United States, but spread quickly throughout the industrial world. The economic catastrophe and its impact defied the description of the grim words that described the Great Depression. This was a severe blow to the United States economy. President Roosevelt’s New Deal is what helped reshape the economy and even the structure of the United States. The programs that the New Deal had helped employ and gave financial security to several Americans. The New Deals programs would prove to be effective and beneficial to the American society.
Canadian delegates were placed in charge of four core areas in the reformation of financial policy and, “in all these areas, Canada was able to successfully push for reforms that resonated with its experiences and interests in enhanced financial sector regulation and supervision.” This crisis, and the successful reformations that came out of it, further installed Canada as a leader in economics, firmly inaugurating them as the world’s best bankers. During World Wars I and II, Canada had no formal military. Canadian soldiers, whether volunteers or conscripted, were trained and led by the British military. Although Canada had their own units, these were treated as an extension of the British military, not as an independent, Canadian branch.
To avoid the corruption of this role, the Governor General powers should be limited to that which aids the fulfillment of their duty to ensure that Canada has a Prime Minister. Even though their power is theoretical and rarely exercised, the Governor General holds to much power for an unelected member of parliament:
As a nation that identifies as a constituency, Canada is divided into 3 levels of government – each having to abide by the objectives of a responsible government (Brooks, p.169, 2015). As a citizen, it is normal to hold high standards and expectations inside the Canadian government; with these standards in mind, it is well as important to understand how our everyday lives are impacted by the three levels of government – federal, provincial, and municipal. The Canadian government has various responsibilities that must be satisfied through each branch. With these various duties, I not only expect the branches to honor the way decisions are made, created and/or interpreted/applied, but I as well expect them to comply with their assigned roles. I expect the federal level to implement plans to ensure public safety is in order, the provincial level to be accountable for health care and education, and the

Canada has a central government designed to deal with the country as a whole. Things like national defense, banking, currency, and commerce are controlled by the central government. All other matters are left to the provinces to deal with. Such as education, hospitals, and civil rights are responsibilities of the states. The Canadian Parliament consists of two houses. Their Senate is made up of 104 members who serve until the age of seventy-five.
To begin with, it is essential to know what the Bank of Canada’s objective is, as stated in the Bank of Canada Act of 1934, even if I’ve briefly mentioned it in the introductory paragraph. In the exact words:

This system helps all of these banks provide financial secrecy which is that only you and your banker would legally be allowed to know the financial activity within your account. The financial secrecy, completely different from financial privacy, includes many regulations to maintain this asset of secrecy. For example, many banks would n...
The appropriate role of government in the economy consists of six major functions of interventions in the markets economy. Governments provide the legal and social framework, maintain competition, provide public goods and services, national defense, income and social welfare, correct for externalities, and stabilize the economy. The government also provides polices that help support the functioning of markets and policies to correct situations when the market fails. As well as, guiding the overall pace of economic activity, attempting to maintain steady growth, high levels of employment, and price stability. By applying the fiscal policy which adjusts spending and tax rates or monetary policy which manage the money supply and control the use of credit, it can slow down or speed up the economy's rate of growth in the process, affecting the level of prices and employment to increase or decrease.
