28 (Bloomberg) -- Barclays Capital, the investment- banking arm of Barclays

Plc, named former Canadian ambassador to the U.S. Michael Wilson and ex-RBC

Capital Markets Deputy Chairman Bruce Rothney to run its Canadian

operations.

Wilson will be chairman of Barclays

Capital Canada, while Rothney will be country head, the investment bank said

today in an e-mailed statement.

UBS Canada and a former finance minister, was the Canadian ambassador from 2006

to 2009. Rothney joined Royal Bank of Canada in 1991. Both bankers will be based

in Toronto.

Barclays has operations in Toronto

and Calgary, and in December secured a banking license in Canada.
