To decrease inflation, the Bank of Canada would increase interest rates.  It would be accomplished typically through open-market operations (selling bonds), however could also be obtained by switching government deposits from the chartered banks to the Bank of Canada. In both of the cases it would decrease chartered bank cash reserves.
