There are three kinds of banks in Canada.

Canadian-owned banks are Schedule I.

They face rules like minimum deposit limits.

Professor Thompson added.

The Canadian market is small, and existing banks are strong.

The cost of entering new is big.

This may be why the number of American banks is small.
