Thank you.
My first question is for the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
You talked about a lot of different things that are going to be necessary for economic recovery. I want you to comment on some of the tax increases that are going to be felt especially by small and medium-sized businesses.
Perhaps you can start with the excise escalator in particular, which automatically kicks in. Would you perhaps recommend to this committee that things such as the excise escalator, the increases to the carbon tax and increases to payroll deductions that are borne by businesses be suspended in the name of economic recovery?
