This document examines the possibilities for public participation in determining the shape of the financial services sector. It first describes the social context surrounding public participation and the scope of such an undertaking. It then reviews public participation in the non-financial sector, focusing on the environment, communications, energy, and transportation. Possible mechanisms for public participation in the financial sector in the United States, Europe, and Australia are also reviewed. On the basis of that overview, the possibilities for public participation in the Canadian financial sector are evaluated, particularly from the point of view of the proposed mergers of major financial institutions. The concluding section identifies the most promising elements and proposes avenues for further action.
