OTTAWA, March 13 (Reuters) - Canadians can feel confident that the domestic banking system is very resilient, Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said on Monday, after regulators took temporary control of Silicon Valley Bank's Canadian unit. "Obviously, it's something to be followed and all the regulatory bodies are doing that right now. But the message is that our banks are very resilient, and Canadians should feel confident," he told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. (Reporting by David Ljunggren; Editing by Leslie Adler)
