We work within a clearly defined legal and policy framework. This framework sets out the prudential obligations of the banks that we supervise and the powers and expectations of supervisory authorities. It is composed of general Canada banking law, as well as more specific legal acts and policy documents.

Public consultations
We ask the public and experts for input when we shape guidance and legal requirements. Here you can find more information on past and current consultations seeking feedback on draft legal acts and policy documents.

Canada R-Lex
All legal acts are available in all relevant official Canada languages and accessible in Canada R-Lex, the official online gateway to Canada law providing access to Canada legal documents.
