' Mr. Sharp_was reported to » have _ proposed that the” interest” ceiling be- removed from bank loans_of-more.-than$25,000.

Mr. Gordon, Mr. Lamontagne | and many ,other MPs. attacked | these proposals in a three- hour | closed session. They argued. that the changes would hit the small borrower and drive’ interest ratés further - upward.
