Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just wanted to say that what happens in the finance committee and what goes on the record is very important. I want to say just for the record—and I think some day this will appear in an economics 101 textbook—that economic decisions are made on the margin. The marginal tax rate in what the Conservative Party is trying to do here does something very strange at the $15,000 limit for the small business hiring credit. It's my belief that students of economics in the future will read this in their textbooks and be amazed at the arguments that were made about this.
Economic decisions are made at the margin. That's a principle that I think students learn at the very beginning of their economics studies, and it's something that this government is not paying attention to.
Thank you.
