I am very glad you asked that, Mr. Julian.
Restaurants Canada has been working for years to bring down credit card interest rates and interchange fees. We think we've made some strides with the government in the past few years, but now is certainly the time to do more about credit card fees, which are very costly.
More and more purchases are being made with credit cards and cash is not accepted at many establishments. It's too bad for the banks, but they have nothing to complain about. The ones who need help now are food service operators and small businesses. At Restaurants Canada, we've always had credit card fees in our crosshairs, so we are ready to tackle the issue any time.
