Mr. Speaker, I have two quick questions for the member. Does he agree with his party leader that the banks should merge? Is it okay for foreign banking competition to come into the country carte blanche?
This has to be the first time a western populist party has sided with the interests of big banks from Toronto over the interests of small businesses in their own communities.
Would the member explain why the Reform Party has been so ready to betray its populist routes in this case? Could it be that the Reform Party is now so interested in winning votes in Ontario that it is ready to support Bay Street over Main Street in its own communities?
