Ottawa considers regulating small loan practices in Canada
United States economist Leon Henderson told Canada's House of Commons banking committee that many families rely on small loan firms to cover medical, legal, and employment gaps. He noted 27 U.S. states have adopted small loan laws, suggested a 2 percent maximum on unpaid balances as a starting point, and warned against unconstrained costs. Wisconsin's 2 percent, 21 percent, and 1 percent tier is cited as an example with monopoly effects for Household Finance Corp.
