There's no question in my mind. We've seen it all through our housing crisis, which still exists. In my view, the big banks have a free pass in being part of the solution through that crisis. And in this crisis right now some of our smaller credit unions here in B.C. have stepped up to the plate, lowered their interest rates, and in some cases suspended interest rates for a number of months to allow people to work their way through this.
In my opinion, there's no question that the big banks should be stepping up, freezing the rates, and actually, I believe, freezing payments at this time, and for a number of months, to help our country out. After all, they have profited greatly for many years and been protected by our government, so I think it's time for the big banks to step up and do their part for Canadians.
