Praise the Lord, Mr. Chair.
Some automatic bank machines charge fees, $1.50 or $2 per withdrawal. This government's Minister of Finance is worried about these fees himself. As federal legislators, we could at least intervene with financial institutions. Some machines are not associated with a big bank, we know that for a fact.
Furthermore, we could amend the Bank Act to require the banks to report on the way in which they respond to the need for microcredit for the less fortunate. Those matters are clearly in the federal government's jurisdiction, it seems to me. It could be done quite easily. In 1995, the Bloc Québécois tabled bills along these lines. We have also raised the concerns whenever we could in the reports of the Standing Committee on Finance. That is all I have to say.
