I know in my riding of Essex, people have talked more and more about credit scores and getting access to their credit rating. This has been more common nowadays than it was in the past. I think in the past, people were not as concerned about knowing what their credit score was or what their credit rating was, and now, these days, people are more and more interested in having access to that.

One of the initiatives under this legislation—or one of the initiatives associated with it—is to give people greater access to their credit score or their credit rating. I’m wondering if the member from Humber River–Black Creek has had the experience in his riding that I had in my riding of Essex. Are people interested in this, and will they be seeking more access to it?

I’m going to repeat a question I asked earlier. I was talking about my own constituents in Essex county, who are getting more and more involved in their credit ratings and their credit scores—because that, in modern society, has become far more important and more common for people to check and for people to use. I think that people in my riding will welcome the initiative that goes along with this bill—to open up the access to credit ratings and credit scores on a more frequent basis for consumers. I know that’s going to be welcome in my riding of Essex, with my constituents.

I would like to ask the member if she thinks that the constituents in her riding will welcome greater access to their credit scores.
