Mr. Speaker, what the hon. member might simply want to do is take a look at what in fact the government has said.
The reason that we said that the government as far as the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions would not begin to look at this merger was precisely that we were not going to allow anybody to jump the queue.
The fact is that government policy will be set following a full public debate which itself will follow the task force report. Only at that point will we begin to consider this or any other similar merger.
