In look at the most recent federal budget we see no provisions for the end Canadians pay the price because our crown corporations are making payments on our massive $547 billion national debt over the not being managed properly. next three years. It is consistent with the findings of the report. The report says the bureaucrats in the finance department demonstrate As the report itself found, the members of the boards of directors limited skill in analyzing and interpreting financial statements. Why lack key skills and capabilities in finance, administration and would we have bureaucrats in the Department of Finance who are management. In other words, they are completely unqualified to sit not skilled at interpreting financial statements? It does not make in those positions, yet they have been appointed through a process sense. It is a scathing indictment of the competence of the Liberal that lacks transparency and accountability so that the Liberal government. government can play games of patronage and land contracts and jobs for its friends and supporters.

Via this publication, we are pleased to be providing all of these contributors to the Bank’s success with a concise profile of the organization’s activities and accomplishments outside of the strictly financial realm. Fiscal 2009 was certainly a year of recognition and distinction for our institution. For example, Commerce Magazine ranked Laurentian Bank as the second most admired financial institution by Québecers.T he Bank also figured among the 20 most responsible corporate citizens in Québec according to Responsible Investment Group, particularly because of its transparency. For its part, the Québec Federation of Chambers of Commerce selected Laurentian Bank to be among the 25 enterprises inducted into the Québec Business Hall of Fame in acknowledgement of our contributions to the development of the province. I firmly believe that these honours testify to our determination to remaining vigilant and to managing our activities with integrity, prudence and rigour.
