Mr. Speaker, the reality is that Canadian businesses create those jobs in spite of these government programs. The CPP hike more than offsets any nickels and dimes that EI gave.
The CFIB gave this finance minister a failing grade. They called it a disappointing budget. They called it a missed opportunity. Payroll taxes in reality gouged deeper.
The small business deduction is mired in 1980 values. How dare this finance minister stand there and continue to force small businesses into paying more and getting less?
