Text: BOC Indicates Possible Ultra-Long Bond Nov. 16

     OTTAWA (MNI) - Following is a press statement issued Thursday by the Bank

of Canada along with the quarterly bond schedule:

     Quarterly Bond Schedule

     On behalf of the Minister of Finance, the Bank of Canada announced plans

for ten regular issues of Government of Canada marketable bonds and one issue of

Real Return Bonds, to be auctioned to government securities distributors of

Government of Canada bonds as set out below.

     Potential issuance date for ultra-long bonds: (2017-11-16)

     Ultra-long bond issuance remains a tactical funding measure and is not part

of the regular bond program. As a result, the listed date represents a

possibility but not a commitment to hold an ultra-long bond auction. An auction

will be held only if a Call For Tenders is released confirming the date and size

of the auction, and will be posted on the Bank of Canada's website in the

preceding week. Alternatively, a market notice will be released in the preceding

week in lieu of a Call For Tenders should the Government decide not to issue an

Ultra-Long bond on the listed date.
