Mr. Speaker, Canadian consumers need action, not platitudes.
Even before this latest ripoff, the prime rate had plummeted, yet ordinary consumers are getting no breaks on their credit cards. We have had enough of consumers being gouged. That is the same government that failed on ATM fees. Does it not realize it is the government that regulates the banks, not the banks that regulate the government?
Will the minister finally step in and make it clear that consumers must be put first in these difficult times?
