Mr. Speaker, I just said that the criteria in the case of an acquisition are exactly the same as in the case of major bank mergers.
Now, if the hon. member thinks that we should have more elaborate criteria for major bank mergers, his colleagues are certainly free to make that suggestion in committee.
But I am telling the House that, in the case of an acquisition and of the criteria, if not the process, things would be exactly the same as in the case of a bank merger.
