I can't imagine the NDP will really push for legislation on this. There are ways for smart consumers to keep their fees down despite the Banks' rapacious gluttony for them.
I remember when independent "White" machines started popping up in stores and other remote locations and introduced their extra fees. How did the banks compete with these convenient yet more expensive machines? Add their own extra fees of course! Oh, and continue to aggressively shut down small branches everywhere.
Jerks.
I'd like to see more competition from foriegn banks, but I don't want to see a wild, west environment where every mother and her dog offers "banking" services. In such a situation, I'd probably stick with one of the majors anyway.
