Petition to Support Credit Union Legislation in the Yukon

This petition of the undersigned shows:

THAT one in three Canadians are members of a credit union, and Yukon is the only place in the country without a Credit Union and there are numerous benefits to developing a credit union in the territory, including the following: a) both money invested in a local credit union and the profits would stay in the territory b) throughout its history, the Canadian credit union system has maintained a record of sound, prudent financial management and solid growth c) credit unions are owned and accountable to the membership, resulting in better rates and better service for the local communities.

THEREFORE the undersigned ask the Yukon Legislative Assembly to support legislation which will enable the development of a credit union in Yukon.
