Ottawa thinking about tightening mortgage rules

Ottawa is pondering advice it received from the big 6 banks. They want the minimum down payment to be increased to 10% or amortizations shortened to 30 years.
The president of ING mortgages disagrees. He wants to qualify borrowers using a higher interest rate to ensure that when rates rise as we know they will, people will be able to handle the higher payments.
