Thank you very much.
My name is Mr. Carson Atkinson. I'm a retired educator. I was a long-time educator in various parts of the country—Yukon, Northwest Territories, New Brunswick—and I find myself as mayor of Chipman.
As mayor of Chipman, I am pleased that our community has been given the opportunity to appear before the House of Commons standing committee.
Scotiabank is closing its doors on Chipman today at four o'clock, and I will be there for the closing, provided I'm not tied up here too long.
From the brochure, which I've given you as well, we wish to convey our strong support for postal banking in our community. You have a brochure that we have put together, and I'll highlight it briefly. Going back, Chipman dates to the 1830s.
