I'd like to address the representatives of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.

I'm a businessman. I have 40 employees in my various businesses, and we're awash in bureaucracy and red tape. Do you think that businesses with 100 employees or less, for example, a figure that appears in other bills, shouldn't be subject to the act or that they should be subject in a different way?

We know that small businesses are the economic backbone of this country. Should they be treated differently?
