Thank you, Madam Chair. I do have some general comments. I just want to do due diligence on behalf of being a committee member that was present during the public review on November 1st of this year, with respect to the repeal
of this act.
It would definitely be important to note and, again, to get reaffirmation and confirmation by the department and by the Minister that there is, indeed, no proponent, no one individual or no organization that is currently in the queue for any type of application process with respect to forming, or the intent of a credit union. I’m hoping that within the framework of the general comments that we can get that again, that reaffirmation, that reassurance that if we are going to be repealing, that there is going to be a gap in availability as we’re waiting for the federal statute to occur with respect to the formation of a credit union.
