Mr. Speaker, I greatly enjoyed the member's speech. Based on her experience in the private sector, she is extremely qualified to talk about matters that affect small and medium sized business in this country. This also eminently qualifies her to be a member of the finance committee of the House of Commons.
She made reference to the red book. I prefer to call it the well-read book, because so many Canadians have had a chance to be exposed to its contents, to be exposed to the commitments this government made during the 1993 campaign, which, when implemented, will do the kinds of things this country needs to take its proper place in the world as a trading nation that can, being strong economically, provide jobs for its citizens, especially our young people.
She mentioned her experiences in business with the biotechnology firm in the maritimes. No doubt she has many personal experiences with the red tape that faced her and her colleagues in that business. I wonder if she could share with us from her personal
experience the loss of productivity, the loss of human resources, the wasted time that attends the paperwork burden imposed on business in this country. She might say how it will be a liberating thing for business not to have this load weighing down on them.
