Legislation would ban loan sharking continued would eliminate unnecessary confusion in the credit Field and would define strict rules to protect All borrowers and depositors. The Bill provides that institutions such As Banks pay interest monthly on the average daily balance in Sav Ings accounts. In addition depositors must be fully informed of terms and conditions governing the payment of interest by depo sit taking institutions. Any solicitation of deposits must provide Complete and accurate information such As the effective annual interest rate and the True amount of service charges. The legislation will remove ceiling rates which have applied to Small loan Compa Nies and replace them with an unwarranted Rale concept. The weakness in the exist ing system is that when Ceil ing rates Are lower than prevailing credit Market rates lenders have refused to Grant Small forcing Lingher risk borrowers to seek funds from loan Sharks. The government expects that the new system will enable Rales to be set according to the Cost of funds and the risks involved in a particular transaction. Or. Abbott stressed however that there is nothing we can do about the fact higher risk borrowers will have to pay More for the in warranted rate provides that if a Borrower believes he is being charged too High a rate he will have an easy recourse. He could apply to a court for a review of the credit charge and the court will de cide if the rate being charged is War rented. Or the Borrower can Slop payment on a loan Ihus forc ing the Lender to show that the rate is Warre Tecl. In both cases the Burden of proof will be on the Lender. This Means the Lender will be More careful in setting his Rales. As an additional pre Lection to borrowers they will be granted the unlimited right of repayment without penalty on All but mortgage Loans. This is to allow a Borrower who is being charged an excessive rate to avoid Legal action by obtaining funds at a More reasonable rate and re tiring the High Cost loan with out penalty. It will also enable Bor rowers to retire High Cost con Sumer Loans whenever they can and will encourage debt reduction and Thrift. People with mortgage Loans will be allowed to prepay up to 10 percent of the outstand ing principal on each of the first and second anniversaries of the effective Date of the mortgage. At the third anniversary or on any payment Dale thereafter he will be allowed to payoff any or All of the Oul standing principal Wilh a maximum payment of three month s penalty. Lenders will be required to inform each Borrower of the total amount of the loan of the total Dollar amount of re payment required and of the effective annual percen Tage rate the amounts and rates of payments to be made to the Lender or to any designated third party the conditions pertaining to payment of penalties and their computation the effective Date at the beginning of the transaction and related mailers. The practice of mortgage lenders of having their Legal fees and other charges de ducted from the amount of a mortgage will be ended. Or. Abbott said mortgage lenders will have to state in Terest charges on the net amount of the loan. All lenders will be required to maintain full and adequate records of their lending trans action so that an administrator or a court will be Able to audit and determine whether or not a particular transaction in compliance with the Law. Severe penalties Are pro posed for lending at a rate greater than the prescribed criminal rate or for the destruction of records or the use of threat or coercion in collection. The penalty on summary conviction for these offences would Range from a minimum of a Fine to a maximum of or up to two years in both. For non compliance of advertisements or failure to disclose or miscalculation of the credit charge Rale or abuse Harras Smunt oppressive conduct or Nii Suepre sensations. Or unreasonable communication of information on a Borrower there could be a maximum Fine of or one year imprison ment or both. Refusal to inform the administrator could Lead to a Fine of per Day for each Day the offence continues. For All other infractions not specifically provided for in other sections of the act there could be a maximum Fine of the criminal rate provi Sion in the act is aimed specifically at loan Sharks. It is de scribed As a tool specifically designed to fight loan shark ing in All ils forms by establishing a Clear and Deci Sive measure for proof in criminal prosecutions.

The russians Are pleased with the Quality and delivery of Canadian Grain Jamieson said. He added that he tried to interest the russians in Cana Dian fee grains but was told the russians do not have the appropriate crushing capacity for such Canadian feed grains As rapeseed. Pat Olicher later spoke at the opening of a joint soviet Canadian Trade commission and twice indicated that the russians expect to sell More goods to Canada in return for an increase of imports from Canada. In reply Jamieson told so Viet authorities that Canada is ready to relax conditions applying to soviet Trade representatives in Ottawa. He said Canada is ready to five visas for two soviet Trade representatives and would begin issuing 12-month rather than the current six month visas for soviet businessmen visiting Canada. It was inevitable that the russians would ask for in creased sales to Canada Jamieson said in a later inter View because Canada has enjoyed a substantial Trade sur plus with the russians. When the Mission now in Moscow was established Moscow asked that More Canad an importers be placed on the list.
