Just one comment and one question.
As is often the case when a bill comes up, we consult with some of the stakeholders. I'd just like to thank you folks for working with the Canadian Co-operative Association. I understand you had a number of telephone conversations and they were happy with whatever transpired. So I'd like to thank you for doing that.
I just have one question. I'll just quote the last paragraph from a letter our chair received from the Credit Union Central of Canada, which you may have seen. I'd like to get your response to that, please.
I quote:
Beyond this expression of support, our only other substantive request is to have the Government confirm that it intends to retain current practices (under the FIMCLA Program) in relation to the definition of the Prime Rate for purposes of the Program. Currently, the prime rate, for purposes of the Program, is understood to be the prime set by financial institutions themselves. Credit unions wish to see this current practice continue.
I'd like your comments on that, please.
