Ontario leaves out American banks from U.S.-dollar bond issuance in a first since 2011
For the first time in more than a decade, Ontario has issued a U.S.-dollar bond without the assistance of any U.S.-based banks. The province sold US$2-billion worth of 10-year bonds last week with the help of British banking giant Barclays PLC, according to Bloomberg data. Three Canadian banks also helped manage the latest provincial debt issue: BMO Capital Markets, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Bank of Nova Scotia. American banks have participated in every Ontario government U.S.-dollar bond sale since 2011, the data show. As recently as January of this year, the province sold US$3-billion worth of five-year bonds with the help of Bank of America Corp. Ontario Premier Doug Ford had previously committed to banning U.S. companies from government contracts in response to the continental trade war launched earlier this year by U.S. President Donald Trump. However, Ontario finance ministry spokesperson Scott Blodgett said there is currently no prohibition on U.S. banks participating in Ontario bond issues. In fact, Mr. Blodgett said, Bank of America remains a long-standing member of the banking syndicate that regularly assists with the sale of Ontario's domestic market bonds. 'U.S. banks were not 'dropped' from our bond sale,' he said in an e-mailed response to questions. 'Inclusion in any Ontario bond deal is a competitive process with financial partners around the globe vying for international mandates. As bond funds struggle as uncertainty grips the market, here are four for investors to consider 'Several factors, including dealer availability, indicative pricing, consistent quality coverage, and participation on recent transactions is considered. Rotation is also considered with respect to participation on past deals as well as future deals.' Last week's deal generated 'record interest for an Ontario 10-year USD deal,' Mr. Blodgett added. In early March, Mr. Ford pledged to ban U.S. companies from all Ontario procurement contracts until the Trump administration removes tariffs from Canadian goods. The policy has subsequently faced criticism for exempting American companies with at least 250 employees in Canada. For example, Bank of America, which boasts more than 1,000 Canadian employees working out of offices in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver, would qualify for such an exemption. Alberta also avoided using a U.S. bank for a recent bond deal. In March, the province sold €1.25-billion ($1.95-billion) worth of 10-year bonds with the help of Barclays, RBC Capital Markets and TD Securities, according to public data and provincial records. Alberta regularly taps Bank of America for its euro-denominated bond sales, though Marisa Breeze, spokesperson for provincial Finance Minister Nate Horner, said the change was not intentional. Opinion: Here's what really is going on in the bond market - and why I'm still very bullish 'There is no blanket ban on U.S.-based financial institutions,' Ms. Breeze said. 'The province is continuously monitoring and assesses the performance of the service providers employed for its funding activities and adjusts its borrowing syndicate based on that performance.' Meanwhile, at least one other province has continued openly using U.S. banks for its U.S.-dollar bond sales. Bank of America and Citigroup Inc. were both part of the syndicate behind a US$2.5-billion bond issued by British Columbia last week. That syndicate also included BMO Capital Markets, National Bank of Canada and TD Securities. 'The province's inclusion of U.S. banks aligns with market practice among other Canadian issuers,' B.C. finance ministry spokesperson Shantel Esplen said in an e-mail. 'B.C.'s approach is the same as the government of Ontario, who continues to follow a policy which does not rule out inclusion of U.S. banks.' Both the Canada Pension Plan and the federal government have also recently allowed U.S. banks to participate in their debt sales, Ms. Esplen said.

B.C. to restore housing aid to families with sick children in Vancouver hospitals
VICTORIA — The British Columbia government says it's working to reverse changes that slashed accommodation funding for out-of-town parents whose children received specialized hospital care in Vancouver. Health Minister Josie Osborne says she has asked staff to review the family residence program after receiving criticism for changes to the program that became effective June 1. Children's charity Variety, which administers the government-funded program, had recently announced that accommodation coverage was being reduced from 30 days per hospital visit to 15 days per calendar year. Osborne says there had been 'no reduction in base funding' for the program this year, but she understood Variety's costs had increased, requiring the changes. She says she has directed the ministry to work with the Provincial Health Services Authority, Variety and others to ensure the restrictions are lifted as quickly as possible. Premier David Eby says he was 'incredibly concerned' to hear about the changes. The told an online news conference from South Korea, where he is wrapping up a trade mission, that the 'sole focus' of families should be on making sure their kids are getting better. They 'should not be full of anxiety about how to access housing or accommodation for their family (in) one of the most expensive housing markets in the world, Vancouver.' The program subsidizes accommodation for eligible families who live outside the Lower Mainland with children receiving treatment in Vancouver at BC Children's Hospital, Sunny Hill Health Centre, the BC Cancer Agency, or the neo-natal unit at BC Women's Hospital. Osborne had been asked about the changes on Friday and said the health ministry had received a mandate to review programs, adding that her ministry would do everything possible to assist families. Reports about the cuts had sparked an outcry from the Opposition B.C. Conservatives, who blamed the government for the 'disgusting' cuts. 'It's unconscionable to place this financial burden on families already enduring unimaginable stress,' Opposition Critic for Health Anna Kindy had said in a news release on Monday before the government announced the policy reversal. This report by Wolfgang Depner, The Canadian Press, was first published June 9, 2025.
