I call this meeting to order.
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to meeting number 141 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology.
I would like to remind all members and all witnesses to review the instructions concerning the use of microphones and earphones, because this is a matter of everyone's health and safety, particularly the interpreters'. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the interpreters for their work.
Pursuant to the motion adopted on Thursday, September 19, 2024, the committee is resuming its study on credit card practices and regulations in Canada.
Today, we are pleased to have several witnesses with us. We welcome Alexandre Lampron, director, government affairs, for the Conseil québécois du commerce de détail, who is testifying by video conference. Thank you for being here, Mr. Lampron.
From the Convenience Industry Council of Canada, we have Jeff Brownlee, who is here in Ottawa.
From Interac Corp., we have Bryan Bossin, head of government relations and external affairs.
Finally, from Stripe, we have Brian Peters, director of public policy.
Thanks for joining us. As you all know, you will get five minutes for your opening remarks, and then we'll start the discussion.
Without further ado, Mr. Lampron, the floor is yours for five minutes.
