Thank you.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2768814\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Phillips, I'm going to ask you a few questions. I understand that your organization is very supportive of the changes contained in this legislation that would, in fact, impact the federal credit unions. When your organization appeared before the Senate banking, trade and commerce committee, you were especially positive about the changes that will permit federal credit unions to vote with the cooperatives class on the governance of the Canadian Payments Association.</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2768815\" data-originallang=\"en\">For the benefit of the House, for this committee, I'd like to quote what your representative said: First, we want to note our support for the proposed amendments to sections 9(3)(a) and (b) of the Canadian Payments Act. Placing the federal credit union in the cooperatives class will preserve and strengthen the credit union system representation at the CPA. It will ensure that a federal credit union will be represented by a director, who speaks for the interests of cooperative financial institutions in CPA matters. A strong advocate at the CPA is important for the credit union system's ability to advocate on behalf of credit unions and to continue to operate payments facility efficiently and cost effectively, which has a direct impact on overall credit union system competitiveness.</p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2768816\" data-originallang=\"en\">Would you elaborate further on how this measure will benefit credit unions?</p>",

Merci.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2768814\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Phillips, j'ai quelques questions pour vous. Je pense que votre organisme appuie enti\u00e8rement les changements pr\u00e9vus dans ce projet de loi, lesquels auraient un effet sur les coop\u00e9ratives de cr\u00e9dit f\u00e9d\u00e9rales. Quand votre organisme a comparu devant le Comit\u00e9 s\u00e9natorial des banques et du commerce, vous vous \u00eates dit tr\u00e8s favorable aux changements qui permettront aux coop\u00e9ratives de cr\u00e9dit f\u00e9d\u00e9rales de voter avec la cat\u00e9gorie des coop\u00e9ratives au sujet de la gouvernance de l'Association canadienne de paiements.</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2768815\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour \u00e9clairer notre comit\u00e9, permettez-moi de citer ce que votre repr\u00e9sentant a dit:D'abord, nous voulons indiquer notre soutien pour les modifications propos\u00e9es aux alin\u00e9as 9(3)<em>a</em>) et <em>b</em>) dans la Loi canadienne sur les paiements. Classifier la caisse de cr\u00e9dit f\u00e9d\u00e9rale dans la cat\u00e9gorie des coop\u00e9ratives pr\u00e9servera et renforcera la repr\u00e9sentation du syst\u00e8me des caisses de cr\u00e9dit chez l'ACP. Cela assurera qu'une caisse de cr\u00e9dit f\u00e9d\u00e9rale sera repr\u00e9sent\u00e9e par un directeur qui d\u00e9fendra les int\u00e9r\u00eats des institutions financi\u00e8res coop\u00e9ratives relativement aux questions de l'ACP. Une voix forte \u00e0 l'ACP est importante afin d'assurer la capacit\u00e9 du syst\u00e8me des caisses de cr\u00e9dit d'intervenir en son nom et de continuer d'exploiter des moyens de paiement d'une mani\u00e8re efficace, aux niveaux g\u00e9n\u00e9ral et \u00e9conomique, ce qui a un impact direct sur la concurrence g\u00e9n\u00e9rale du syst\u00e8me des caisses de cr\u00e9dit.</p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2768816\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourriez-vous nous expliquer plus pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment les avantages que cette mesure pr\u00e9sentera pour les coop\u00e9ratives de cr\u00e9dit?</p>"
