Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance.
Recently the Royal Bank announced a profit of $1.82 billion, the largest profit of any company in the history of our country, and at the same time prairie farmers are in their worst economic crisis since the 1930s.
I have a suggestion for the Minister of Finance. Will he consider calling in the CEOs of the large banks in this country to try to get from them the idea that they might seek to share the wealth in terms of imposing a moratorium on farm debts in the country? Will he do that?
