With the recent Wells Fargo scandal, I've got to ask, whatare you going to do to make sure big banks are not taking advantageof members? Along with that, how are you going to ensure thatsmaller financial institutions can afford the cost of compliance?Most of the costs of compliance do not vary by size, and thereforeproportionately are a much greater burden for smaller as opposed tolarger institutions.
