Other countries have done it and the Prime Minister, with respect, should be doing the same thing.
There are the big banks as well. In the last economic crisis, the Harper government gave over $69 billion in largesse as the banks racked up over $27 billion in profits over the same period. Now this government is going even further, approving up to $150 billion in support to Canada's big banks. The banks can and do impose penalty fees and interest on any deferrals they approve, and they are benefiting from near-zero Bank of Canada rates.
The government has tools to cut the banks' profiteering, why don't they use them?
