The federal government is looking for feedback on changes to Canada’s deposit insurance framework that could see the coverage limit raised to $150,000.

Right now, the Canada Deposit Insurance Corp. will guarantee Canadians’ deposits up to $100,000 in the event of a bank failure as long as they’re held with a member institution.
