“We call it… the three legged stool. You've got the Retail Payments Activities Act as the rules. The Canadian Payments Act is the who can be members and participants… Then the third leg of the stool is the infrastructure. And so we like to refer to the Real-Time Rails as that third leg…
The ambition is the stars align and all three happen concurrently. That's the ambition. ”
— Donna Kinoshita
