Minister, in July 2017, the finance minister came forward with changes having to do with our taxation laws around small businesses. I heard from many people in my riding, particularly women, who are doctors, lawyers, farmers, or who run other entrepreneurial endeavours within my riding. They came back to me and they said that these tax changes really hurt them. They really impacted them. They impacted their ability to take maternity leave. They impacted their ability to save for their children's education, their ability to take sick leave, their ability to take leave in order to care for a sick loved one, and things like that. At the end of the day, these women would argue that they were actually disproportionately affected by these tax changes.
Was GBA+ looked at when this proposal was put forward by the finance minister?
