Thank you, Mr. Chair. I do appreciate the opportunity to have a round of questioning, even though I have only been here for the last hour.
I would have to say that it's a bit ironic that today's study on regulatory modernization was put forward by the Liberals on this committee with a view to doing a few things, like reducing the unnecessary administrative burden on small and medium-sized businesses, simplifying regulatory processes, cutting red tape and examining regulations that may impede international competitiveness, yet here we are.
They have introduced yet another what I would call “vacuous” policy with their increase in capital gains, which is going to have a huge impact on the members you represent. I think I have heard that in the short time I have been here today. Put that together with the carbon tax, which is already hurting small and medium-sized businesses, and with the increases that are going to be contemplated all along the way.
I know, Mr. Greco, that you asked to return to this committee—that you have been here before, provided some testimony and asked if you could come back. You said that there were some things that you wanted to address.
If I'm covering ground that was already covered in the first hour, I don't want to do that, but I'm thinking that you probably talked a lot about the capital gains policy of the current government. Is there anything that is really pressing that you would like to share with us today, given that you asked to return?
