Dig out Bob Rays Ontario NDP government of 1992 who built a community lending model and negotiated successfully to make investors RRSP AVAILABLE FOR THIS TYPE OF LENDING.

As ED of a not for profit CFDC in the day we applied and were funded to set up the program in our region.

It was one of the first three NDP initiatives that Mike Harris cut and slashed only because it was an NDP initiative and Harris was against enabling business in anyway by government support.

So Canada was ahead of the international curve in this regard. What we lacked was vision by follow up political leadership.

So 20 plus years later you ar picking up the pieces.

Keep up the good work!
