Mr. Speaker, the question posed by the member for Sarnia—Lambton is a classic example of how he and all other members on this side of the House have consistently sought to further the interests and the needs of small and medium size business in the country.
I am very grateful to the member as indeed I am very grateful to the members of the industry committee who have deliberated long and hard on the particular measure. They have recommended that this tax measure be extended for small and medium size business until October 31 of this year.
I am delighted to announce today that the government accepts that recommendation.
