Mr. Chair, I am pleased to hear that the minister realizes it costs Canadian taxpayers $4 per transaction, based on the type of ATM, for a total of $420 million a year. In the United Kingdom, 97% of ATM withdrawals are free.
Does the Minister of Finance think that the amount Canadian consumers pay to withdraw their own money from ATMs is justified, when he sees what happens in other countries, where people do not have to pay to withdraw their hard-earned money?
