Mr. Speaker, all the minister's recent announcements are about demands from the banks for more business.
The demands by others for more freedom to compete with the banks are never mentioned. I am sure this has nothing to do with the banks' generous financial support for the Liberal Party and the government's $105,000 grant to the Canadian Bankers Association.
Will the minister assure the House that the up-coming white paper will level the regulatory playing field between banks and their competitors?
