  1. C. The equilibrium interest rate rises.

    By selling bonds Bank of Canada reduces money-supply (moves money from M1 to M3 but multiplier for M1 is higher than for M3).

    Reducing money-supply increases interest rate and slows-down rising price-level (inflation). Output in short-run can be affected negatively.


  2. b    It's been unchanged for a while.  But does the question refer to a previous time ....  or the last 3 years.....  or forever.
