The company borrowed and the bank advanced on the strength of the guarantees. There is no reason to insert in the guarantees a term not consistent with their tenor. That which cannot be done expressly (see Hawrish v. Bank of Montreal, 1969 CanLII 2 (SCC), [1969] S.C.R. 515, 66 W.W.R. 673, 2 D.L.R. (3d) 600) surely cannot be done by implication.
