Mr. Speaker, I listened to the last message very clearly. I agree with a lot of what the member said, except for a few parts he probably went off script for.
There have been some comments made about the banks and about lenders. I remind the member that in addition to the six or seven banks there are 1,490 members who are lenders on SBLA, whether they be credit unions, caisses populaires, credit societies and so forth.
This bill basically is an extension of the SBLA for one year and the addition of $1 billion, from $14 billion to $15 billion.
I understand my colleague supports the bill. Could he expand on items? In addition to the banks, he has I am sure in Saskatchewan other lending institutions that are very key. They use the SBLA but perhaps they have not been mentioned here today. They are part of the SBLA program.
