There have been a lot of questions raised by a compliance order placed by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions that basically are contrary to the traditional use of the words banking, banker, or whatnot. This legislation seeks to address that and to make it completely certain so that when people walk into a credit union, they can ask if it does online banking, and the institution would be able to say yes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5069620\" data-originallang=\"en\">This private member's legislation would work on trying to build that certainty that would allow our credit unions the traditional usage of those terms, making sure that they were following clearly, according to law, the long-standing practice.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5069621\" data-originallang=\"en\">I hope I can gather all-party support. I certainly have received a lot of positive feedback from members in this place and also from the all-party parliamentary credit union caucus.</p>\n<p class=\"procedural\" data-HoCid=\"9\"> (Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed) </p>",

Beaucoup de questions ont \u00e9t\u00e9 soulev\u00e9es en raison d'une ordonnance ex\u00e9cutoire \u00e9mise par le Bureau du surintendant des institutions financi\u00e8res \u00e0 propos de l'utilisation traditionnelle des termes \u00ab banque \u00bb, \u00ab banquier \u00bb, et cetera. La pr\u00e9sente mesure l\u00e9gislative vise \u00e0 remettre les choses au point et \u00e0 s'assurer qu'une coop\u00e9rative de cr\u00e9dit peut r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 qui le lui demande qu'elle offre des services bancaires en ligne. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5069620\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le projet de loi garantirait que les coop\u00e9ratives de cr\u00e9dit puissent faire un usage traditionnel de ces termes et respectent la pratique bien \u00e9tablie, en conformit\u00e9 avec la loi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5069621\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'esp\u00e8re obtenir l'appui de tous les partis. J'ai re\u00e7u beaucoup de commentaires positifs des d\u00e9put\u00e9s ici et aussi du caucus parlementaire multipartite sur les coop\u00e9ratives de cr\u00e9dit.</p>\n<p class=\"procedural\" data-HoCid=\"9\"> (Les motions sont r\u00e9put\u00e9es adopt\u00e9es, le projet de loi est lu pour la premi\u00e8re fois et imprim\u00e9.)</p>"
