 Response to Finance Canada's Large Bank Mergers Consultation
ATB Financial is a $13.8 billion, full service financial institution operating predominantly in Alberta.
ATB operates independently from the Province of Alberta subject to the Alberta Treasury Branches Act and policy direction contained in a Memorandum of Understanding with the Minister of Finance.
We believe that strong regional players such as ATB Financial, with a strong deposit and lending base, should not be excluded from bidding on branches simply because we are unable to purchase branches in more than one province.

 ATB Financial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alberta Treasury Branches, also known as ATB Financial, is a full service financial institution and crown corporation owned by the Government of Alberta and based in Edmonton, Alberta.
ATB is not a chartered bank, and unlike other banks operating in Canada, ATB is regulated entirely by the Government of Alberta, under the authority of the Alberta Treasury Branches Act, Chapter A-37.9, 1997, and Treasury Branches Regulation 187/97.
ATB was created by the first Social Credit ministry under William Aberhart in 1938, after earlier attempts to place Alberta's banks under the provincial government's control were thwarted by the federal government.

 The Constitutionality of the Alberta Treasury Branches   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
These Treasury Branches had their beginnings in 1938 and were a response, by the government of the province of Alberta, to the economic effects of the Great Depression and a corresponding lack of support for the province by the Eastern-based banks, which viewed the province as an economic wasteland.
First, the treasury branches could use the funds deposited only in the manner provided for in the individual contracts with depositors; the depositor's contract was in the nature of a trust indenture.
The incorporation of the ATB and the expansion of its mandate is an attempt to move the institution at arm's length.

 LE REVUE GAUCHE - Left Analysis And Comment: The Real Story of Alberta's BSE Crisis
Otherwise we remain a branch plant of Tyson, XL and Cargill, who will profit from Canadian beef processing while the market declines in the U.S. The BSE (mad cow) crisis revealed that farmers in Canada were at the mercy of corporate agribusiness, in particular Tyson, Cargill, and XL Foods, American based Agribusiness corporations.
Alberta saw a bust in the meat packing industry in the province begining in the later years of the 1970's as packers diversified into other industries, shut down plants, retired staff and in some cases consolidated holdings through mergers and acquisitons.
The integration of the American packing plant operations in Alberta, where they own feed stock, that is their own beef, their monoploy in the beef market, where independent farmers have no recourse but to sell to Tyson or Cargill, is what exasperated the BSE crisis in the province.

At 44, he is far too young to remember when ATB was the salvation of Alberta farmers devastated by the dust bowl of the Dirty Thirties.
Today, even though ATB has been spun off into a Crown corporation with its own board of directors, it still reports to the provincial treasurer and all deposits are guaranteed by taxpayers.
Meanwhile, ATB remains embroiled in a lawsuit with the Ghermezians in an attempt to seize the West Edmonton Mall to recover the loans that were made under exceptionally generous terms.

Top government officials were aware of the controversial refinancing loan for Edmonton, Alberta’s West Edmonton Mall, according to court documents in Alberta Treasury Branches’ ongoing civil suit for control of the world’s largest mall.
Provincial bank Alberta Treasury Branches (ATB) is suing Edmonton- based owner and developer Triple Five Corp. for control of the 5.2 million-square- foot megamall, charging that bribes and secret commissions were paid in order to secure an unreasonably generous C$420 million loan in 1994.
ATB’s suit says the loans to Triple Five far exceed the C$400 million appraised value of the mall, leaving the Ghermezian family owners with no equity or financial interest in ensuring that the mall is run in a businesslike manner.

 Folio: Book explores history of public debt in Canada | May 7, 1999
Perhaps the default is something we'd prefer not to remember, but even when Ascah runs information sessions for Alberta Treasury Branches employees, most of them draw a blank when asked about that unsettling moment in our province's history.
The loan wasn't supposed to be conditional upon council membership, but when Alberta decided it would be foolhardy to "filch away" financial sovereignty, the federal government reneged on its loan promise.
Now in charge of policy and strategic planning for Alberta Treasury Branches, Ascah's own interest in public debt began when he was a junior auditor with the Auditor General in Ottawa in the early '70s.

 Thursday, April 19, 2001 Today's News: Small Banks Move Toward CRM One Step At A Time   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
While the banking industry in Canada is dominated by large federal institutions, Alberta Treasury Branches has managed to compete pretty well in its footprint, which includes 144 branches throughout the province.
With assets of about $12 billion, ATB went shopping for customer relationship management technology a couple of years ago, aiming to cultivate what executives there see as a key strength in their highly competitive market: being the "local" bank.
To be sure, smaller banks may follow ATB's example and put the technology in place incrementally, but Angst says even comprehensive deployments for large institutions normally proceed one channel at a time, including integration with each line of business within the channel.

 Let's Talk Taxes - Analyzing the fingerprints on ATB and WEM
Auditor General Peter Valentine has released his long-awaited report on how taxpayers — via Alberta Treasury Branches - were stuck with $418 million worth of liabilities for a shopping mall and theme park.
Kowalski, the consummate Alberta pork-barrel politician, pushed hard to have taxpayers bail out the Ghermezians via a government loan or loan-guarantee in February 1994, arguing the economic impact of the mall’s receivership would be enormous.
When ATB is eventually sold, it will fetch $152 million less than it otherwise would, similar to how a damaged fender would drop the value of your car.
