Merci.
That was unusual. I'm not used to presiding over question period, but that was an interesting discussion.
Mr. Duguay, I want to thank you very much for being with us here today. I'm sorry that in some cases I did have to shut you off. It was in the interests of allowing all members time for questions. We very much appreciate your responses.
There's one thing I would ask you to provide a written response for. In my riding, when the Bank of Canada lowers its rate by 50 basis points, consumers and businesses have a perception that the lower rate is not passed on fully to them by the financial institutions. I know this will be a question we'll have for the banks when they appear before us, but if you can provide a written response to me as the chair, I'll share that with all the members. I know we don't have time right now.
We appreciate your time here today. Thank you.
Members, we will suspend for a minute or two, and then we'll deal with future business.
