In 1932, Bennett's government launched the [[Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission]] (CRBC) that regulated radio broadcasting to promote more Canadian content; the commission also established a publicly-owned national radio network that told Canadian stories to Canadians. In 1936, it became the [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]] (CBC).<ref name="BennettBio" /><ref name="BennettCanadianEncyclopedia" /><ref name="w162"/>

Chartered banks in Canada controlled interest rates, the value of the [[Canadian dollar]] in the global market, and the amount of money in circulation; they also printed their own Canadian currency. In 1933, Bennett's government created the [[Royal Commission on Banking and Currency]]; the commission would result in the creation of the [[Bank of Canada]] in 1935 through the 1934 ''[[Bank of Canada Act]]'', despite opposition from the chartered banks. The bank gained the powers from the chartered banks and gained the legal mandate to control Canada's [[monetary policy]] without interference from the federal government.<ref name="BennettBio" /><ref name="BennettCanadianEncyclopedia" />
