Finance committee urges curbs on non financials owning banks
The House of Commons Finance Committee warns that allowing a single non financial firm to own 100 percent of a trust company concentrates power and risks depositors. It urges a rule limiting non financial owners to 30 percent of a financial institution and tasks ministers to draft law.

Neighbors push for hospital smoking bans across provinces
A letter in the Russell Banner cites a patient alarmed by a night puffing incident under a NO SMOKING sign. Across three prairie provinces editorials and hospital surveys show growing support for smoke free zones with May policy rollout. Rosetown Hospital bans puffing in front lobby halls and waiting areas, with exceptions for bed ridden patients with permission and staff only in designated times. Claresholm favors prohibition in all areas except front lobby as an interim step toward a full ban. Rivers Riverdale Health Services bans smoking for staff patients visitors in the hospital while the lodge allows puffing only in private rooms. Central Butte Union Hospital adds no visitor or staff smoking except in designated areas. Three editors cheer the trend toward smoke free health care spaces.
