The Canadian Payments System

In September, 2010, the Task Force commissioned a report titled The Canadian Payments Landscape, which offers a holistic mapping of the current Canadian payments landscape, and is intended to serve as a common basis for discussion and collaboration.

The report is available in full as a downloadable PDF document.  Participants may also like to review the Executive Summary for a more condensed overview of the report.

A discussion forum was provided so that participants could engage directly with the report and with each other.  Comments will help refine the points expressed in the landscape document, and further enhance the work of the task force.
