proposal
An offer to creditors to settle one's debts under other than the existing terms (Ontario Bankruptcy Dictionary)

Under the Bankruptcy and insolvency Act there are two types of proposals that can be made. A proposal filed under Division I, which is applicable to companies and any individual who wants to avail himself of it. There are also "consumer proposals", which are a special type of proposal that a consumer can avail himself of but only if his debts, excluding mortgages on real property, do not exceed $75,000. One of the main features of a consumer proposal is that if the creditors do not accept the proposal, the person is not automatically bankrupt as in a Division I proposal.
