Not to my knowledge.
I would like to provide some information on the issue.
Take the example of England, which regulated the rates to 0.3%. There was a class action lawsuit of $19 billion U.S. against MasterCard, which abused its monopoly position to the detriment of small and medium-sized businesses and consumers. However, I think it's representative of the position of strength that credit card companies have on the market. It's time to legislate those fees in Quebec and Canada.
I would also like to make another clarification. All the needs and projects presented today require funding. However, our request to regulate credit card fees comes at no cost for the Canadian government or the Canadian treasury. It's simply a matter of imposing regulations, as other countries have done. Credit card companies have to be told that they have gone too far and that the rates will now be set at less than 1%, at 0.5% or a similar rate. The government will decide.
A bill on the issue was introduced by a Liberal member. Over the past few years, the NDP has also been working very hard on this. The Conservative Party had taken some steps and took a step in the right direction, but I think it's time to move even further with the credit card issue.
