Note: Subcategorization of Government of Canada debt is in accordance with Bank of Canada reports, which may vary slightly from Public Accounts categories due to differences in classification methods. The total outstanding market debt may not equal the sum of the parts due to slight differences between the Bank of Canada's and Department of Finance's numbers. ¹ Includes EMTNs.

Note: Because of timing and valuation differences, The National Balance Sheet Accounts data contained in this table are not necessarily on the same basis as other data elsewhere in this publication (most of the data in this report are on a par-value basis - that is, outstanding securities are valued at par). For this reason, although the two sets of data yield very similar information, the data in this table are not strictly comparable with other data in this publication. ¹ Includes bonds denominated in foreign currencies. ² Includes Quebec savings banks, credit unions and caisses populaires, trust companies and mortgage loan companies. ³ Includes investment dealers, mutual funds, property and casualty insurance companies, sales, finance and consumer loan companies, accident and sickness branches of life insurance companies, other private financial institutions (not elsewhere included), federal public financial institutions, and provincial financial institutions. ⁴ Includes federal government holdings of its own debt, provincial, municipal and hospital holdings, and holdings of the Canada Pension Plan and the Quebec Pension Plan. ⁵ May not add due to rounding.
