Mr. Speaker, I would like to first of all acknowledge the work of the member for Trinity-Spadina on the industry committee, the study on access to capital for small business.
The member has proposed a very important idea. I believe that most members would recognize the fact that thanks to large businesses, lending to small businesses is not satisfactory. The member has proposed an idea that this should be increased to close to a two-thirds, one-third basis.
It is an interesting idea because it would be an injection of close to $15 billion into the small and medium sized business community pool. It is an idea we are going to look at closely and we will be back to him in due course.
