Government Operations committee  That's over age 49 from today, 2016. There are 16,200-plus who are eligible in 2020.

Government Operations committee  It's huge, but it's huge in the right approach. Really, if everybody wants to work together, there is no reason to have work lost.

Government Operations committee  Ms. Trudel, I would also like to add that, when we carried out the consultations with Canadians, 99.1% of respondents said that they had a bank account, be it in caisses populaires or other financial institutions. When we checked with citizens and companies, only 7% of individuals and 11% of the industry said that they might use postal banking.
