12. On the recommendation of the Société, the Government may guarantee and pay the difference between 2% and 5% of the interest on any loan made by a credit union or a society to a syndicate or cooperative building society or to one of its members on a house other than an apartment-house of flat-house provided such house was built since 1 January 1941 or commenced before 15 January 1948, that it be for the use of and effectively occupied by the borrower and his family, or in the case of a multiple-unit dwelling, provided one of such dwellings be for the use of and effectively occupied by the borrower and his family.
When the amount loaned exceeds $6,000 for a self-contained dwelling and $10,000 for a two-unit dwelling, the Government pays such portion of the interest only up to the extent of a capital sum of $6,000 or of $10,000, as the case may be.
This section does not apply to interest due before 11 March 1948.
