Mr. Speaker, as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance, I realize that the member's comments were not directed at me but at the Secretary of State for International Financial Institutions.
He was right in what he said about the jurisdictional issue. I have tried to assist the member. I have talked about some of the ways the federal government plays a very positive role, particularly with regard to premium increases and the ombudsman role.
With regard to the financial service sector, the member knows we have an ombudsman for the various chartered banks as well. It is important that this mechanism be used, that members have that kind of information, and I would undertake this evening to look at how we can disseminate more of that information to members throughout the House in order to ensure that they can inform their constituents of that material.
