In comparison, the amount of mortgage credit on the books of Canadian Chartered Banks was $459B, a decrease of $27.1B (-5.6%) in the last twelve months. This is actually a slight improvement from the numbers posted for August. However, remember that the CMHC also insures about 40% of the mortgages the banks hold.
