Mr. Speaker, the town of Lynn Lake is the latest victim of the Liberal government position: Let the banks decide.
The banks say bigger is better. They talk about providing better service at a better price.
Mayor Audie Dulewich of Lynn Lake and many in the community tried to keep services there. The bank, in spite of giving assurances to myself and the community, is not able to provide minimal service let alone better service.
Bank mergers, job loss, intimidation tactics, excessive surcharges, bank closures; what more does this government need? How many more communities will have to suffer the fate of the people of Lynn Lake before this government takes action and ensures that banks, in their privileged positions, have a responsibility to provide the service Canadians want?
