SUMMARY

The purpose of this enactment is to protect consumer choice in the deposit-taking sector, thereby maintaining access by Canadians to a variety of institutions for the provision of retail banking services. It prohibits mergers among the large Canadian banks and prevents them from amalgamating with Schedule II banks or deposit-taking institutions of a certain size except in limited circumstances.
