The Bank of Canada no longer publishes this table. As of May 2018, a new version of the data is being published monthly by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) on its website. This change is a result of the discontinuation of weekly statistical reporting via the Market Trade Reporting System.

This is historical data, submitted to the Bank of Canada until 2017 by the distributors of Government of Canada marketable debt.
A trade is reported on a trade-date basis and calculated as follows: purchases + sales + agency transactions (both sides) to a domestic or foreign client. All “when-issued” trades are included in the amounts reported.
Only domestically issued securities and “global” issues denominated in Canadian dollars are reported. (Global issues are offered simultaneously in several markets worldwide.) Money market turnover excludes all securities with an original term to maturity of greater than one year. Bond turnover excludes all securities with an original term to maturity of one year or less.
Strip bonds are bonds that have been divided into their interest (coupon) and residual principal components. Repos are transactions involving a repurchase or resale agreement. Strip bonds and repo trades are excluded from the overall money market and bond market trading numbers and reported separately in their respective categories.
All trades, including stripped coupons and residual principal components of stripped bonds, are reported at par value.
Trades with non-residents are defined as direct trades with non-resident individual or institutional clients. Trades with foreign affiliates of the reporting firms are reported in this category. Intrafirm trades with foreign branches are not reported.
