Mr. Speaker, unfair credit card merchant fees are out of hand and putting small businesses and jobs at risk.
While Walmart announced it will no longer accept VISA, small businesses do not have that luxury. They are left at the mercy of credit card companies and a voluntary code that has failed to protect consumers or small businesses. In opposition, the Liberals demanded long overdue action.
Why has the Liberal government not brought in legislation to stop these unfair fees that are gouging Canadian businesses?
