This initiative will help Canadians prepare for higher interest rates in the future. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;	•	Lower the maximum amount Canadians can withdraw in refinancing their mortgages to 90 per cent from 95 per cent of the value of their homes. This will help ensure home ownership is a more effective way to save. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;	•	Require a minimum down payment of 20 per cent for government-backed mortgage insurance on non-owner-occupied properties purchased for speculation. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&amp;quot;There's no clear evidence of a housing bubble, but we're taking proactive, prudent and cautious steps today to help prevent one. Our Government is acting to help prevent Canadian households from getting overextended, and acting to help prevent some lenders from facilitating it,&amp;quot; said Minister Flaherty. &amp;quot;If some lenders aren't willing to act themselves, we will act. These measures demonstrate the Government is committed to taking action when necessary to support the long- term stability of a sector that is so vital to our economy and the financial well-being of Canadian families.&amp;quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;These adjustments to the mortgage insurance guarantee framework are intended to come into force on April 19, 2010.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description>
