Increase in government's borrowing authority
The authority of the government to borrow for purposes other than to refinance debt is increased by $2,934,000,000.
Subject to subsection (3), an agency may borrow or raise for its purposes amounts not exceeding, in total, the amounts set out for the agency in the Schedule. This is in addition to any amounts that an agency may borrow
(a) to refinance debt; or
(b) under a statutory authority to borrow money for temporary purposes or working capital.
Amounts borrowed or raised under subsection (1) may be borrowed or raised
(a) by means of a loan from the government; or
(b) subject to subsection (3), by any other means authorized by the agency's governing legislation and approved by the Lieutenant Governor in Council.
Abatement of government's borrowing authority
An amount borrowed or raised under clause (2)(b) reduces, and must not exceed, the government's borrowing authority.
Agency guarantee abates borrowing authority
The amount of a guarantee provided by an agency reduces, and must not exceed the lesser of,
(a) the government's borrowing authority; and
(b) the agency's unused borrowing authority under subsection (1).
LG in C may authorize advances
The Lieutenant Governor in Council may authorize amounts to be advanced to agencies or for programs as set out in the Schedule.
Lapse of previous borrowing authority
Any unused authority under section 3 or 4 of The Loan Act, 2013 to borrow or advance an amount set out in a Schedule to that Act lapses except to the extent it is included in the Schedule to this Act.
Additional authority for loans and guarantees
Until changed by another Act of the Legislature, the total of the loans and guarantees that the government provides under section 63 of The Financial Administration Act in a fiscal year must not exceed $200,000,000.
An agency or other person that needs legislative authority to borrow an amount to be advanced to it by the government under section 63 of The Financial Administration Act is deemed to have that authority.
This Act is deemed to have come into force on April 1, 2014.
