At the risk of putting words into Dr. Kelly's mouth, he is saying that, rather than increasing the level of debt related to development finance from a pillar bank, a better solution concerns the equity rather than increasing the bank lending beyond what is typically 60%. Would he be nervous about raising the bank lending proportion to a typical proportion of 80%? I am aware that HBFI does that, but in very restrictive circumstances. I am referring to pillar banks more generally.
