Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you, Minister and team, for being with us here today.
First, I'd like to pick up on the line of questioning from MP Jansen. At that point, we were talking about what she referred to as “fancy exemptions” in respect to Canada Post, and she was asking whether there were any other “fancy exemptions” within Bill C-15 that would help small and medium-sized businesses.
You know, in my riding, businesses are talking about a lot of the supports that are in the budget that will help them, whether it's the small and medium-sized office of procurement that is going to be set up under the buy Canadian policy, whether it's improving and speeding up the SR and ED credits, or whether it's the productivity superdeduction.
I'm wondering, Minister, if you could speak to some of the examples that you've seen in the budget, similar to the efforts that we're making with Canada Post, that will help small and medium-sized businesses.
