Mr. Chair, our position is this: How is the minister supposed to take this report into consideration?
Right now, as the bill is drafted, it contains no obligation to that effect. Nor is there any obligation to take the stability of the Canadian economy or the best interests of the Canadian economy into consideration. We are putting in place a structure that is more robust and stronger. That's why we are proposing the amendments.
I want to respond to Mr. Jean's concerns that we were not looking ahead to the NDP government that will be elected in 2015. I want to make it clear to Mr. Jean that he doesn't need to worry. We are looking at the next revisions of the Bank Act taking place under an NDP administration, and they will be different amendments.
But I don't want to be concerned about that.
