		<description><![CDATA[Banks in Canada should not be allowed to choose and hire their own external dispute resolution ("EDR") provider. Canadians deserve to have an ombudsman that meets the basic principles of independence and effectiveness, and that is easily accessible for all of their banking and investment-related complaints.
