DEF

... a charge not exceeding five dollars for the creation of or increase in an overdraft, imposed by a credit union or caisse populaire the membership of which [comprises,] wholly or substantially, natural persons or a deposit-taking institution the deposits in which are insured, in whole or in part, by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or guaranteed, in whole or in part, by the Quebec Deposit Insurance Board.

CONT

This means that the bank will simply advance the money that your account is short and allow the check to be cashed.... a fee is charged for this overdraft protection. Overdraft fees typically range between $20 and $35 per overdraft. In addition, interest may be charged on any outstanding balance(that is the money the bank had to advance) until those funds are repaid. Naturally, overdraft charges can be very expensive, particularly if you aren’t aware of your account balance at all times, or are careless with the checks you issue.

CONT

... If [consumer] accounts have insufficient funds, they will be subject to expensive bounced check fees or overdraft protection charges.

CONT

I can’t stress how important it is to get a vet check done on a horse you wish to buy... The vet will issue a written report to you. You can also ask the vet whether the horse will be physically suitable for the discipline that you want to use the horse for... The vet will look at the horse's structure and determine whether his feet and bone structure are suitable for what you wish to do with the horse. He’ll also be able to point out any imperfections. He’ll check the horse's vital signs and check for lameness after being exercised. He’ll check the horse's teeth to see if they correspond to the age the seller claims the horse to be and he’ll also look to see whether the equine's teeth have been maintained. Essentially the vet will check the horse's conformation, movement and soundness, wind, gut sounds, heart and lungs, eyesight and hearing. If anything untoward is apparent then it's a chance for further investigation.
