The party has proposed changes to banking laws that would eliminate fees for using automated teller machines (ATMs), also known as automated banking machines, or ABMs.

...

Last December, NDP finance critic Judy Wasylycia-Leis in question period pressed Finance Minister Jim Flaherty to legislate the end of competitor automated banking machine fees. She noted that banks in other countries, including the U.K. and U.S., do not charge additional fees when a consumer uses a competitor's ABM.

I guess the question is then: why are we basically the only ones that get dinged? And if this is the case, anybody think that there is any realistic chance of getting this changed?
