註釋
Presents the report of a task force appointed to inquire into public policies affecting the financial services sector and to make appropriate recommendations. Task force work included receipt of submissions from interested parties, holding of meetings across Canada to solicit public input, and commissioning external research studies. Four basic themes are explored: enhancing competition and competitiveness, consumer empowerment, Canadians' expectations and corporate conduct, and improving the regulatory framework. After introductory chapters on these themes and the task force's approach, chapter 3 reviews forces of change acting on the sector, including technological advances and globalization, plus the responses to those changes. Chapter 4 includes an overview of the sector and its importance to Canada, and discusses challenges facing the sector. Chapter 5 presents the task force's vision for the sector and suggests how to achieve that vision. Chapters 6 through 9 treat the four basic themes in turn, covering such topics as ownership policy, business powers, mergers, protection of privacy, consumer protection, social performance, and regulation of market entry. The final chapters summarize the task force's recommendations and concluding observations.
