• 6. (1) All loans under these Regulations will be at no cost to the Crown unless the Minister considers it to be in the public interest for the Crown to bear all or part of the cost, in which case the Minister shall determine what part of the cost, if any, shall be charged to the borrower.

  • (a) the recipient pays to the Receiver General an amount not less than the amount that, in the opinion of the Minister, is the cost to the Crown; or

  • (b) the recipient replaces the materiel provided by returning to the Minister, at the recipient’s expense, an equal quantity of the same materiel under such conditions as the Minister may prescribe.
