The CBC report states that they may be filing for bankruptcy protection today, $107 million(Can) in interest on bonds. The move would give them 30 days to find some way to pay off the debt.

Export Development Canada has agreed to loan Nortel $30 million(Can) for the next 30 days, pending credit approval.
