Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses as well.
Mr. Hall, when you were talking about 80 hours, you reminded me of my early days in my law practice when I was called to the bar. I don't know if it was a wise decision or not, but I started my own firm and I did put in as many hours as you said. I guess working hard works out for everyone. Working hard pays off, so good job.
When the budget was tabled last week there were two things for small businesses. There is a reduction of 2% tax for small business over a few years, and there is also an increased maximum earning before a business counts as a large corporation for tax purposes.
I'll start my question to Mr. Hall, and everybody can comment. Do you think that this reduction in taxes would make you put in more than the 80 hours now? Would that encourage you to work harder and make some more money for yourself in your pocket? Would it help all businesses basically here today to expand their businesses and create more jobs?
