Mr. Speaker, no. I think the SBLA program is an efficient, effective program to help start-up companies, to help young companies and expanding companies to expand.
Yes, we need to review small business loans. The auditor general made some comments. We will have a comprehensive review. However, I do not believe, as the member opposite and his party do, that we should stop it at this time. Comments were made by the member for Saskatoon—Humboldt that the SBLA program should be stopped until we have the review. I do not believe that should be done.
I believe that we should extend it, that the review should continue and that the hon. member will have a chance to come to the industry committee to see whether it is a subsidy. I do not think it is. I think it is part of making things happen in our country.
