Interest at the rate of 5 per cent per annum was charged by the Government on this excess issue. "I think that your reference to a 25 per cent gold coverage for not issue must be‘the provision in the Bank of Canada Act which requires the Bank of Canada io mainsain a reserve in go‘ld eoin andâ€" bullion of not iess than 25 per ceont. of its note and deposit liabilâ€" ities." ‘"There is no provision relatinz to goldâ€"holding against not issue; in fact, ai the time of commencement of busiâ€" ness by the Bank of Canada, all chartâ€" ered ‘banks were required to transfer their gold holdings in Canaca to the Bank of Canada. "Prior to the 1934 revision of the Bank Act, the chartered ‘banks were allowed to issue notes up to the amount of their unimpaired paidâ€"up capital and in addition might issue their c<wn notes, dollar for dollar, against deposits of gold or Daminion notes in the Central Gold Reserves.

"Gection 29 of the same Act provides that ‘whenever gold is sold by, transâ€" ferred to, held as reserve by, or doâ€" posited with the Bank pursuant to subâ€" sections Nos. 1 or 3 of Section 25, Seeâ€" tion 26, or Section 28 of this Act, the value of said gold shali be computed on the basis established by the Curâ€" rency Act at the date of the re‘sevant transaction.‘ "Howsever, Section 28 (2) of the Bank of Canada Act provides that ‘the Govâ€" ernor in Council may from time to time thereafter require every chartered bank, or every other person, co transâ€" f°r to the Bank any and all gold csin or ‘bullicn held in Canada which is owned ‘by such chartered ‘bank or by such cther person; and the Governor in Council may outhorize all msacures dcsemed ncssssary or oxpedicnt to enâ€" fcrce any such transfer and to imâ€" pose and recover penalties in rosp:ct Of any neslect or refusal to make any transfer so required."
