Thanks to all of you for coming in.
I'm going to start with Mr. Ball and continue with Mr. Pollock.
We're talking about data, so I'm going to continue on that point. I have the letter of the Coalition for Small Business Tax Fairness, which now includes more than 70 national organizations, both business and professional associations. In their letter, they say the minister is suggesting that his proposal would not affect small business owners “with incomes under $150,000”. Now, I have power point presentations from Moodys Gartner and other tax law consultancies, people who care about tax administration, not tax policy—they say they make a difference between the two.
Can either of you gentlemen tell me that you have any data that shows the minister is correct and that none of these tax changes will affect persons who earn $150,000 or less?
