An Act to establish a framework for the continued access to and use of cash in Canada and to make related amendments to other Acts

Bill C-400 (44-1) was a Conservative Private Member's Bill from Ted Falk to keep physical cash available across Canada as payments move online. It would require the federal government to develop and put in place a framework ensuring cash stays available, amend the Currency Act and the Bank of Canada Act to remove the Governor in Council's power to call in coins and notes, and amend the Bank of Canada Act to bar the Bank from issuing a digital version of the Canadian dollar. Supporters say cash protects privacy and serves people without bank accounts or reliable internet. It was reintroduced in the 45th Parliament as Bill C-276.
