I quote directly from the member's speech: "Government assistance should not be used if a company cannot make it on its own".
There is not a single entrepreneur in the country, whether it was through the tax act, some form of grant, loan assistance or whatever, who has not received some sort of recognition and support from the Government of Canada or the various provinces.
All they have to do is look at the tax act of Canada to see $40 billion worth of tax grants buried there. Most of them are going to businesses in the member's riding and now he is against entrepreneurship. We will not support this amendment.
