Mr. Speaker, small businesses create a huge percentage of all the job growth in Canada. We should be helping them, not hurting them.
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business is demanding that this government act before the big banks' next big cash grab. Our small businesses are facing a 10,000% increase in their Visa and MasterCard merchant fees. Is this fair?
Does the government believe that it is not its problem, or that it can just not do anything about it? Which is it?
