- Canada's international transactions in securities, August 1999
Foreign holdings of Canadian securities fell by $2.4 billion in August, caused by a sharp reduction in bonds, which was only partly offset by continued purchases of Canadian equities. However, Canadian investors acquired $1.7 billion in foreign securities, two-thirds being bonds.
- Employment Insurance support to families with newborns, 1976 to 1998
After increasing at the onset of the decade, income support payments through the Employment Insurance program to families with newborn children have remained essentially unchanged during the rest of the 1990s at about $7,000 per claim. Roughly half of all families with newborns received some benefits.
