Mr. Speaker, I am very proud of the role that our financial services sector plays in Canada's economy.
It directly employs over 500,000 Canadians. It is one of the biggest exporters that we have, with more than 50% of its revenue coming from offshore and about 85% of the global taxes it pays are paid here in this country.
I am very pleased at the efforts that our institutions in the financial services sector have made on behalf of all Canadians.
