I'm Dan Kelly from CFIB.
I think our members have actually taken a fairly reasonable approach to getting us out of deficit insofar as I don't think there's an expectation that it's going to happen overnight. When we did some earlier surveying of our members in terms of the timeframe by which governments should come out of deficit, the timeframe the government put in place was viewed as being reasonable to our members as to the schedule by which we get out of that.
There are big questions on our members' minds, though, as to whether or not stimulus spending is necessarily particularly helpful. There were certain aspects of the package that I think our members did find helpful. Certainly the home renovation tax credit was viewed by many small businesses as a very helpful measure. The EI rate freeze was viewed as being quite helpful to our members as well. But I wouldn't say there's a huge appetite on our members' minds to increase or launch new stimulus spending programs at this moment as we come out of the recession.
In fact, our members are fairly hawkish right now. They're looking at what's happening in England. They're kind of wishing that the government were taking a more aggressive tack in cutting spending to get us out of the mess that we're in.
