I call this meeting to order.
Happy Thursday, everyone.
Welcome to meeting number 152 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology.
Before we begin, I would like to ask everyone to read the guidelines on the little card in front of them about how to use the microphones and earpieces properly. This is to protect everyone's health and safety, especially the health and safety of our interpreters, to whom we are so very grateful.
Pursuant to the motion adopted on Thursday, September 19, 2024, and the order of the House referring back the twentieth report of the committee entitled “Potential anti-competitive behaviour in Canada's e-Transfer ecosystem”, the committee is resuming its study on credit card practices and regulations in Canada.
We're pleased to have with us today, from Stripe Inc., Patrick Collison, chief executive officer and co-founder.
Mr. Collison, thanks for joining us today. Without further ado, I yield the floor to you for about five minutes.
