Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. parliamentary secretary, the MP for St. Catharines, for that question. Of course, the credit union system in Saskatchewan is quite significant with respect to agriculture, small business and personal financial matters.
The credit union system in Saskatchewan has been involved with about 25% of the SBLAs that have been provided. They have approved somewhere in the vicinity of 300, which is about 25% of the 1,200 SBLA loans outstanding in Saskatchewan.
The average coverage for the credit unions across the country is about 20% but in Saskatchewan it is much higher than that.
