Mr. Chair, I first of all want to thank the witnesses for coming here today.
You've come in a spirit of constructiveness and have done a very good job of advancing your point of view. I regret that we've been tied up in procedural knots.
I suspect the Liberals on the committee will be voting against the motion. I certainly will be. The budget I have in front of me on the small business income tax rate says, “Budget 2016 proposes that further reductions in the small business income tax rate be deferred.”
If I look up the definition of “deferral”, it says it is the act of postponing to another time or place. I can only conclude, then, that having been postponed, it will be revisited at a certain point, and that the government will be considering that on a more or less ongoing basis. As such, I don't know if Mr. McColeman thinks he's found who shot J.R. or has solved one of the other great mysteries of life, but I regret this kind of procedural wrangling and hope we can move to the question.
