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 (By-law) on March 3, 1999, pursuant to subsection 21(2) and paragraph 11(2)(g) of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (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, and March 6, 2019.
Issues
The CDIC annually reviews the By-law to confirm it is technically up to date. As a result, technical amendments are proposed to the By-law Amending the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Differential Premiums By-law (the Amending By-law). Furthermore, the By-law has been reviewed to eliminate redundancies. The Amending By-law primarily targets the following two main issues:
1. Changes to the Reporting Form
The amendments align the By-law with the changes in the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) forms that are referenced in the By-law. Furthermore, the amendments seek to remove redundancies in the Reporting Form where formulas are found elsewhere in the By-law or correspond to OSFI data points found in the Reporting Manual. It also removes the scoring grids from the Reporting Form, as they are contained in other parts of the By-law.
2. Clarification to and simplification of existing requirements
The amendments correct the calculation of the score in a situation where there is no examiner’s rating component and simplifies the calculation of the capital adequacy score component. Amendments also clarify that if the Corporation adjusts the Reporting Form, it will use the adjusted Reporting Form when assigning scores under other sections of the By-law.
Description
The tables below provide more detail about the amendments proposed in the Amending By-law.
| Amending By-law Section | By-law Section | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| [1] | 1(1) | Amendments align the definition of "Reporting Manual" with the terminology used by OSFI. |
| [2] | 20(2) | Amendments clarify that if the Corporation adjusts the Reporting Form, it will use the adjusted Reporting Form when assigning scores under other sections of the By-law. |
| [3] | 21 | Consequential amendments resulting from proposed amendments to simplify the inputs to the capital adequacy measures contained in Schedule 2. |
| [4] | 28(3) | Amendments correct the manner in which the score for the examiner’s rating is to be assigned in a situation where no examiner rating is available to the Corporation and correct references to other sections of the By-law. |
| Amending By-law Section | By-law Section | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| [5] | Item 1 | Amendment simplifies the calculation of the score for the capital adequacy measures by directly referring to the data point that is available through OSFI reporting. |
| [6] | Item 2 | Amendments update the formula to remove the reference to Tier 1 capital, which reflects the changes made to Schedule 1 of the Basel Capital Adequacy Reporting form. |
| [7, 8, 9 and 10] | Items 3, 4, 5 and 6 | Amendments remove the scoring grids that pertain to the mean adjusted net income volatility measure, the stress-tested net income measure, the efficiency ratio measure, and the net impaired assets to total capital measure, as sufficient clarity in respect of scoring for those measures appears in Schedule 3 of the By-law. |
| [11(1) and (2)] | Item 7 | Amendments align wording with that used in the OSFI forms. |
| [11(3)] | Item 7 | Amendment removes the scoring grid that pertains to the three-year moving average asset growth measure, as it is redundant and sufficient clarity in respect of scoring for that measure appears in Schedule 3 of the By-law. |
| [12] | Item 8 | Amendments align wording with that used in the OSFI forms and ensure calculations provide outcome prior to subtracting for allowance for expected credit losses. |
| [13(1) and (2)] | Item 8-1 | Amendments align wording with that used in the OSFI forms and clarify the required calculation. |
| [13(3)] | Item 8-1 | Amendment removes the scoring grid that pertains to the asset encumbrance measure, as it is redundant and sufficient clarity in respect of scoring for that measure appears in Schedule 3 of the By-law. |
| [14] | Item 9 | Amendment removes the scoring grid that pertains to the aggregate commercial loan concentration ratio measure, as it is redundant and sufficient clarity in respect of scoring for that measure appears in Schedule 3 of the By-law. |
| [15] | Item 10 | Amendment removes the calculation of the total quantitative score, as the calculation of the total quantitative score is appropriately detailed in Schedule 3 of the By-law. |
| Amending By-law Section | By-law Section | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| [16] | Item 2, column 3 | Amendment corrects the scoring grid to account for the scenario where the Tier 1 capital ratio ≥ the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio required by the regulator. |
“One-for-One” Rule

Small business lens

Alternatives
