I’d like to continue along those lines.
In a previous meeting, the member I’m replacing, Mr. Garon, gave a demonstration in which he explained that, to comply with the conditions for access to lower interchange fees, such as those that Visa and Mastercard charged the government, a restaurant had to do 240 services a year and had to sell each of its meals for $2.43 or less for Mastercard and $4.16 or less for Visa.
Ultimately, don’t the conditions of access to lower interchange rates somehow undermine competition by making them harder for small businesses to access, for example, or by reinforcing companies that are already in a dominant position on the market?
