Legal Tender to be Used By Debtors in Canada
Ottawa reports that Parliament will introduce legislation to protect Canadian debtors from gold clause premiums. Finance Minister C. A. Dunning said the bill would let debtors pay face value in legal tender, aligning with a recent Dominion finance committee agreement. The move follows a British Court of Appeal ruling in an international trustee case, which held the obligation governs the bond, not the payment method, risking gold premiums if redeemed in gold.
