Totally. It's a balancing act, and I respect.... It is the freedom of democracy. We can agree to disagree on the fact that parents have a choice, we believe, of how they would like to raise their children.
Moving on, another section of the budget implementation act concerns the Canada Small Business Financing Act. It's something that's very important to small business owners. We had the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, in the panel before, say that small business is the economic engine that drives our communities across the country.
In the bill, we're proposing, within small business eligibility criteria, to increase the limit for purchasing or building real property from $500,000 to $1 million, of which $350,000 could be used for leasehold improvements or equipment. These measures are expected to enhance the ability of start-up entrepreneurs and small businesses across Canada to secure much-needed capital, generating economic growth and job creation.
I wonder whether you've had a chance to look from a small business financing perspective at whether that's a positive initiative.
I'll start with Mr. Laurin and then go across the panel.
