Mr. Speaker, I will be making a request for unanimous consent at the end of my intervention.
In response to a question from my colleague from Parkdale—High Park during question period regarding abusive ATM fees, the Minister of Employment and Social Development yelled out from his place, “That's just a tax on the stupid”.
Not only is this language unparliamentary, it is also incredibly offensive to those Canadians facing these abusive fees.
Therefore, I would ask for the unanimous consent of the House for the following motion: That, in the opinion of this House, unaffordable ATM fees are not a tax on the stupid.
