Open more paths to loans. Look at the cash a firm earns, not just what it owns. Count the cost of any public backing.

In a federal survey, 97% of small firms that sought debt funding in 2025 were approved.
Limits: The share asked to back loans with assets was 75% in 2025 and 66% in 2024. The survey does not cover building loans alone. It leaves out firms that gave up before applying. It does not prove that each refusal was unfair.
Canada’s Competition Bureau began a study of small-business loans on 12 January 2026.
Limits: The study looks in part at term loans. These are loans paid back over a set time. Starting a study is not proof of wrongdoing. This record states when the study began. It does not say what stage it is at now.
No case study is published here yet. This is the next question to check.
Compare loan terms, defaults and firms turned away. Price any public loan backing before calling for it.
