EXPLANATORY NOTES

This Bill would amend the Schedule to The Loan and Guarantee Act, 1957 respecting 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 would secure the repayment of the net total of monthly allocations less repayments in the amount of $61,061,398 which were received by the Newfoundland and Labrador Immigrant Investor Fund Limited during the fiscal years 2010-2011 and 2011-2012. This allocation brings the total amount of allocations guaranteed by the province to $265,291,075 as at March 31, 2012.

During fiscal year 2012-2013, monthly repayments exceeded new allocations by $22,229,016 thus reducing the total net allocations guaranteed by the province to $243,062,059. As this amount is less than the guaranteed amount as at March 31, 2012, no further amendment is required with respect to the 2012-2013 fiscal year.
