Mr. Speaker, I am going to be a bit biased here. There is a strong entrepreneurial spirit in the riding of Shefford. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business, or CFIB, often reminds me that a great many small and medium-size businesses and merchants in the riding of Shefford are members of the CFIB.
I gave an interview on the subject last weekend. A certain journalist found the press release I published last week interesting. It mentioned that the countries with the lowest interchange fees are those with far more stringent regulations, namely the United Kingdom, New Zealand and the European Union.
My colleague spoke briefly in his speech about what is going on globally. Where exactly does Canada rank internationally in terms of interchange fees? How can we do better?
