Mr. Speaker, I wish to table a petition signed by almost 250 people who are members or employees of the Association des concessionnaires d'automobiles in Joliette and who are opposed to banks getting into the car leasing business.
The petitioners call upon the government not to amend the Banks Act and to maintain the status quo, that is, to keep banks from getting into the car leasing business, something which would seriously threaten the viability of the majority of automobile dealers and hundreds of jobs related to this business.
