Hudson’s Bay Co. stores could be liquidated by the end of May or early June if the company cannot find a buyer or investors willing to provide financing, a lawyer for the faltering retailer told a court hearing in Toronto on Monday.

The first issue is where to set the first repayment threshold – how much should a HELP debtor earn before they start repaying? The government proposal is for a higher first threshold.

The second issue is annual repayment amounts, which affect the disposable income of debtors and how long it takes them to repay their debt. The government proposal is for most debtors to repay less HELP debt each year, increasing their annual disposable income but also their repayment time.
