Mr. Chair, I'm surprised at this amendment coming from the opposition, which was really quite articulate about removing the minister from any particular part dealing with a member of Parliament. Now it wants to include the minister in dealing with a small business, which could have the perception of politicizing.
That's why I cannot support it. It should be, as it is in the act, figured out by the business itself. This would add a political layer for a small business, and I'm surprised at such a thing coming from the opposition.
