Mr. Speaker, I do not think anyone on this side of the House said we should nationalize banks. I also do not think anybody on this side of the House said that they were evil.
The member is right, our banking institutions are the envy of the world. They are extremely profitable and communities in River John, Nova Scotia and Fredericton, New Brunswick are very concerned about the closure of their banks.
We do not demand that they provide this service. They are making billions and billions of dollars. One would think that they would have some community spirit left in their banking souls in order to provide service to Canadians.
