First, I want the opportunity to respond to Mr. Genuis about the fact that today at OGGO, we're having an emergency meeting about studying an urgent matter. As I said, we've spent an hour and 57 minutes discussing this matter. We met specifically today and yesterday, on constituency weeks, because it's so urgent. This is an urgent matter for those 200,000 businesses facing this deadline today. This could cost hundreds of thousands of jobs.
I know the Conservatives don't support CEBA. They should just come out and say it. On merchant fees, they fought hard. They did not stand up for lowering merchant fees for small businesses. They sat idle on that. They lowered corporate taxes by 5% for large corporations, but only 1% for small businesses. I know this. I was a small business owner and I ran a chamber of commerce. They should come clean on this.
I hope they will support this amendment and this motion, and that we can support small businesses.
I'd like to move to call the vote on the amendment right now.
