Union National Association said Tuesday Canadians are being ﬂeeced by some loan comp nles charging excessive rates of interest.

Robert Ingram of Hamilton. Ont, association manager, told the joint Commons-Senate coni- mittee on consumer credit one Canadian loan ompany cantiy charged an interest rate of 68.8 per cent on a loan oi $124.50.

The association said users of consumer credit in Canada are not being dealt with fairly in the marketplace and must be protected by adequate legisla- ‘ilon strengthened by constant supervision.
