Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance.
There are indications that the minister is increasingly uneasy about the proposed mega bank mergers that are coming up, particularly in the consequence of a failure of a mega bank in light of what has happened in Japan and elsewhere around the world and he is now looking to the Competition Bureau to say no.
If that is the case, why does the minister not save us time, save us money, end the uncertainty and say no now to the proposed mergers?
