Mr. Speaker, families dealing with the rising cost of living are worried about what they can afford. Canadian financial institutions already charge some of the highest credit card fees in the world while making record profits. Now Canadian consumers will have to pay those charges directly, simply for using their credit cards. New Democrats have urged both Conservative and Liberal governments to cap credit card fees at 1%, but governments keep protecting corporate profits. When will the Liberals finally defend Canadians by capping credit card merchant fees?
