But when you're forming public policy.... I served eight years in a minister's office a long time ago. The department is always working with the minister to look at public policy issues. Certainly the Department of Finance and the Minister of Finance should be concerned with competition in financial services, and particularly in fees that are gouging consumers.
Are you telling me that the minister and the department have never looked into this anti-competitive behaviour by Interac that gives preferential treatment to the co-chairs of the board and treats everybody else differently, gouging them at a 98% margin difference?
