Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance.
Yesterday we asked about a court ruling in the United States that ordered Visa and MasterCard to repay their cardholders $800 million U.S. because they were gouging them with hidden foreign exchange charges. The size of that surcharge is 1.8%. Its value to MasterCard: priceless.
Yesterday the minister said he did not know about the details. Hopefully he now does. What will he do to protect Canadian cardholders from these hidden charges?
