We certainly put in our proposal measures to reduce the impact on small businesses. As we've already discussed, we've received a number of comments, and we know that we have to take a look at the proposal we've put forward. We'll consider other potential measures to address businesses and perhaps to look at micro-businesses, even, and see if there are additional mitigation measures we can put in place to be able to support those businesses, because we understand that they are important for Canadians. They contribute to the economy, and we want to make sure Canadians will continue to have access to a variety of products—not just for current companies, but also for companies in the future that may want to have access to the market. We also want to support small companies in setting up shop in Canada and growing in Canada.
