to be guaranteeing loans to businesses, small or medium, those loans should carry a rate of interest commensurate with the risk so that in the long term small business loans would b

izens of C ...[+++]anada are held harmless from any risk.Les pertes sur certains seraient contrebalancées par les profits réalisés sur d'autres (1605) Chose certaine, si le gouvernement du Canada, si les contribuables canadiens doivent garantir un prêt, il faudrait que le bénéficiaire du prêt assume certains coûts pour éviter tout risque aux citoyens du Canada.
