My intention is to vote against this. It's not that I think it's necessarily a bad idea, but vis-à-vis the place where loans are likeliest to be used, which is in actual races in a riding, it seems to me that effectively the rate of interest is going to be set by the certainty that the rebate from Elections Canada has been turned over, and it seems to me that the surety therefore is equally certain in all cases and the rate of interest is likely to be the same in all cases.
