But with all due respect to Ted Menzies--and I, having worked for a bank, don't want to punish banks--I don't think this has anything to do with punishing banks.
I agree, and I accept your compliment, that we did manage the banks well. The Liberals were smart not to allow the mergers, in hindsight, even though I was on the other side at the time.
This has nothing to do with punishing banks. This has to do with other things. I'm not necessarily in favour of it, but I think....
