Mr. Speaker, the Conservative government's plan will not do anything more than inform Canadian consumers just how much they are being ripped off. Credit card balances have risen 40% since 2004 and continue to increase as families cope with this financial crisis. Canadian families should not bear the brunt of these tough economic times.
Why will the government not end these cash grabs and protect families who are trying to make ends meet? Why will the government not stand up to the banks and credit card companies and do something now to help Canadians burdened by debt?
