Looking at Newfoundland and Labrador, for example, and your small business numbers, 98% of your businesses are small. That's less than 100. In terms of micro-businesses such as yours, Mr. Whelan, which is from one to four, that's about 54% of Canadian businesses. When we look at who's presented before this committee, we've often heard the comment that it's only large corporations that will benefit. Please keep in mind that associations will represent so many small businesses, businesses of less than four, less than ten.
We have a manufacturing business of less than 20. My husband and his business partner would not have time to come out and present to a committee, although they would go to a board of trade or a chamber of commerce to represent them. Small businesses are being represented. Keep in mind that 98% of businesses in Canada are small—they're not large—and there are benefits; there are pros and cons.
