Thanks.
Mr. Minister, I wouldn't waste too much time trying to convince them, since 28 witnesses appeared before them and told them evidence to the contrary. They never heard any of it, so I wouldn't suggest that you're going to have any more success.
I would like to go back to the issue at hand, which is the Bank Act. As we know, there is a real entrepreneurial and creative spirit in Canada. Small business certainly relies on strength in the banking sector. The strategic investments that the sector makes in supporting small business is critical to our overall economy.
Having said that, we see fairly significant profits in the banking sector. Are you satisfied that we see enough competition in our banking sector? Do you think the banks are taking enough risk in supporting small business?
