Despite the first paragraph, where in a calendar month the difference between the average rate of residential hypothecs for a term of 5 years and the average yield of Canadian 5-year bonds, according to the generic rate published by Bloomberg LP, is less than 1.75%, the reduction in the hypothecary interest rate provided for in the first paragraph is suspended for the following 3 months for all loans whose interest rate is determined during that period. The reductions are reinstated in the month following a period of 3 consecutive months during which that difference is equal to or greater than 1.75%. When the interest rate on a loan is determined, it remains applicable for the term chosen by the borrower.
