Mr. Speaker, what we are witnessing here from the previous two speakers from the Liberal Party is typical: out of touch Ottawa politicians who do not have a clue. I on the other hand come from the real world. I am not a career politician and I am here advocating on behalf of ordinary Canadians.
I personally applied for and received a loan from a financial institution under the Small Business Loans Act. What happened to me is despite the fact that I had ample security, the bank required me to put it through the Small Business Loans Act. That is one example of the type of abuse lenders are implementing upon the Small Business Loans Act. Other abuses by borrowers and lenders were illustrated in my speech earlier.
