Government of Canada T-Bills

Government of Canada Treasury bills are debt instruments issued by the federal government. These instruments offer a high level of safety of principal and interest and typically are liquid investments as there is a well established secondary market. They are sold at a discount to the face value, and the difference between purchase price and value on redemption is the investor’s return.
