Raising to $80 means that the huge delta in the cost to collect can be repurposed by the federal government. C.D. Howe estimated that small business would be ahead by $100 million, and consumers would be significantly ahead as well. The $100 million to small business is mostly driven through reductions in paperwork and in brokerage fees that get paid but don't advance anything.
Then the C.D. Howe authors also did a qualitative assessment on impact to the overall economy, and they found that, directionally, that would be positive as well. Not only would those three stakeholders—government, small business, and consumers—be ahead, but the overall economy would be ahead as well.
