Canada Small Business Financing Regulations

Version of section 31 from 2006-03-22 to 2014-03-31:


 When two or more lenders intend to amalgamate to form a new lender, they must notify the Minister in writing of the intention to amalgamate and of the day on which the amalgamation is proposed to take effect. On amalgamation, the Minister’s liability under the Act in respect of losses sustained by the amalgamating lenders as a result of loans made by them continues in respect of losses sustained by the new lender as a result of those loans and

  • (a) the loans made by the amalgamating lenders are considered to have been made by the new lender;

  • (b) claims for loss sustained in respect of a loan that have been paid by the Minister to each of the amalgamating lenders are considered to have been paid to the new lender; and

  • (c) if, as a result of the amalgamation, the amount already paid by the Minister to the amalgamating lenders as a result of the Minister’s liability under subsection 6(2) of the Act is greater than the Minister’s liability with respect to the new lender, the Minister’s liability is deemed to be equal to the amount already paid.
