Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Let us talk about SMEs and the Canada Job Grant.
Jordan Gould, who is a consultant at Richter LLP and has adopted a position similar to that of the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters Association, is not very enthusiastic on the subject. He says that most small business owners find it difficult to access job grants. This grant would better suit large businesses that have the resources to manage the process.
Since the Canada Job Grant is disputed by both the provinces and SME associations, how does the Minister of State (Small Business and Tourism), intend to change this reform so that it can one day help both SMEs and big business?
