I understand that the demographic using credit unions tends to be an older one. When it comes to timing, I would really like to see this measure proceed as quickly as possible because the signal it sends out to the public is a very positive one. This idea of the credit union offering investment funding to the AHBs would appeal to the younger demographic because these are the very people who would probably benefit the most from it.
