The L-word

It would appear that Our go-it-alone Lower Churchill project has long since become a go-it-a-loan Lower Churchill Project. Himself goes on the air to debrief His public on His meeting with Michael Ignatieff:

His statement of favourable consideration for both the Lower Churchill guarantee and the sale of the 8.5% interest was music to my ears.

It makes a body wonder — with the usual caveats inserted here about ever speculating on any aspect of Our Dear Health — does He have some very rare kind of aphasia that prevents Him from inserting the word "loan" before the word "guarantee"?
