  • Marginal note:Negative pledges inapplicable

    (4) No restriction on the right of the federal member institution to amalgamate, to sell or otherwise dispose of any of its assets or to provide for the assumption of any of its liabilities, other than a restriction provided for in an Act of Parliament, applies so as to prevent the Corporation, the federal member institution or any other person from carrying out a transaction described in subsection (1) or (2).

  • Marginal note:Novation

    (6) Any person who assumes a liability of the federal member institution under a transaction referred to in subsection (1) or (2) becomes liable — instead of the federal member institution — to discharge the liability, on approval of the transaction by the Minister or as soon as the person assumes the liability if the transaction does not require the Minister’s approval.

  • Marginal note:Exception

    (7) Subsection (6) does not apply to the bridge institution’s assumption of any portion of the federal member institution’s liability that is not insured by the Corporation.

  • Marginal note:Novation — trust

    (8) A trust company within the meaning of subsection 57(2) of the Trust and Loan Companies Act that is designated as a bridge institution may become a trustee in substitution for the federal member institution without formality or the consent of any beneficiary of the trust.
