Back stop my a$$....

So I am wondering if anyone has the real facts on what our Government here in Canada is actually going to do to "backstop" loans to Canadian businesses - meaning cover the losses in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy, as has been mentioned several times in the media

If there is detailed information out there, I have not found it.

But i am not good at this google thing I guess......
