Yeni banknotun sahteciliğe karşı daha önce kullanılmamış güvenlik unsurları barındırdığını ifade eden Kanada Merkez Bankası Başkanı Macklem, “Yeni 20 dolarlık banknotumuz hem görsel açıdan etkileyici hem de her zamankinden daha güvenli. Banknot hareket ettirildiğinde dönen ve biçim değiştiren mor bir güvenlik şeridi içeriyor. Bu özellikler vatandaşların paranın gerçekliğini kolayca teyit etmesini sağlayacak” değerlendirmesinde bulundu.
Kanada Maliye Bakanı François-Philippe Champagne ise yeni tasarımın ülkenin anayasal geleneklerini ve İngiliz Milletler Topluluğu ile olan tarihsel bağlarını yansıttığını kaydetti.
