EXPLANATORY NOTES

This Bill would amend the Schedule to The Loan and Guarantee Act, 1957 by adding the Newfoundland and Labrador Immigrant Investor Fund Limited, a Crown corporation established in April 2005 to receive and invest the provinces monthly allocation of funds received from participation in the Government of Canadas redesigned business immigration program. Money received from immigrant investors is to be repaid by participating provincial funds after 5 years and each province provides a guarantee of repayment. This amendment to the Schedule to the Act secures the repayment of the net total of monthly allocations less repayments in the amount of $33,337,720 which were received by the Newfoundland and Labrador Immigrant Investor Fund Limited during the fiscal year 2010-2011. This brings the total amount of allocations guaranteed by the province to $237,567,397 as at March 31, 2011.
