VANCOUVER, April 4 (Reuters) – Canada’s finance minister

said on Wednesday he would rather not tighten mortgage rules

again to curb high household debt and that banks themselves are

taking on that job by becoming more strict with their lending

criteria.

Flaherty said he has seen signs of moderation in the Toronto

condominium market and expects to see a similar trend in

Vancouver, one of the country’s hottest real estate markets.
