Yes, there is a need for that in the regions. I found the arguments in favour of setting up a postal bank in Canada Post outlets interesting. The committee has examined the matter. Certain credit unions are closing because they are not profitable. Perhaps there could be a collaboration between financial institutions and Canada Post, without necessarily creating a new bank.
I am not against the principle of creating a new bank, in light of what was said previously. There is ample room for that on the market. There are too many financial institutions that are closing in rural areas because operations there are not profitable enough. I find that rather unfortunate, but they're not forced to offer an essential service.
How can Canada Post create links with financial institutions? In the regions, in certain places, there is almost a community “ring”.
