Mr. Speaker, I draw the attention of the House to the member of the Alliance Party, the hon. member for Souris—Moose Mountain, who on August 18 with his wife celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. I congratulate him on behalf of all of us in the House of Commons.
I have a question for my hon. colleague from Vancouver East. Years ago the Government of Canada made a fishing czar out of the DFO minister by allowing him more unprecedented powers ever than any other minister in the House. Now it appears that this legislation will make a banking czar out of the Minister of Finance. I would like comments from my colleague for Vancouver East on what she thinks of the new banking czar this bill may create if it is passed.
