    I would like to know readers views on the likelihood of a redemption of this D issue, scheduled to reset in August 2022. BMO seem to be in a redemption mood based the C and D issues redemptions that occurred earlier this year. Wondering what would be their best path to finance this redemption, if they have limitations etc. Thank you in advance
