We had a commission of investigation led by Dr. Peter Nyberg. One of the recommendations in Dr. Nyberg's report related to the idea of too-big-to-fail banks. It suggested that measures limiting a bank's size and growth could be implemented. He gave the example of setting a limit on the absolute size of a bank's balance sheet. What is Professor Kane's opinion of that proposal?
