Mr. Speaker, although my colleague's speech was definitely interesting, it had nothing to do with what we are debating. I will therefore ask him a question about the positions taken by his colleagues who actually talked about the subject we are debating.
I am concerned to hear members of the government say that it is ridiculous, that there is filibustering in the House and that it prevents them from addressing important matters. I agree on the filibustering, but there is something I do not agree with. The subject of this debate on the adoption of a committee report is especially important. Credit card fees are a very important subject, and I am very happy that someone took the initiative to set aside the usual filibustering to talk about them.
I would like to know why the members across the aisle are angry that we decided to talk about credit card fees, which are extremely high for small merchants and are detrimental to our economy.
