Mr. Speaker, I am talking about merchants, not the political games the minister wants to play.
A discount merchant told us that prestige credit cards have made his transaction fees increase by 39%. This adds up to a loss of $800,000 in his case. The government is remarkably passive on that issue. Other countries have already started regulating credit cards.
Will the Prime Minister and his minister show initiative and do the same? What are they waiting for? For our businesses to go bankrupt under this government?
