Liberal caucus recommends bank merger delay
Article Abstract:
The Canadian Parliament as well as the federal government have been encouraged by a group of Liberal members of parliament to regulate the approval of bank mergers in the country. The proposal, which is contained in a report of a Liberal caucus committee, reflects the efforts of the legislators to ensure that bank mergers will not produce adverse effects towards certain sectors such as retailers and small-scale enterprises. The proposal, if translated into law, will further derail the planned merger of institutions such as Bank of Montreal and Royal Bank of Canada.
