Obviously the fact that the government has kept its promise to reduce the small business rate as it had said is very much going to be appreciated by small business. Not to take away from that or negate it, I think the most important thing with business is certainty in taxation, and right now the environment in which our members are living is an extremely uncertain one at this point. The fact that the government has now kept that particular promise and has reduced the rate will obviously be met with appreciation by the small business community, but it is even more important to remove the instability that is currently being faced by small business owners now through the proposed tax changes.
