Mr. Speaker, the member referred to businesses that were in favour of this harmonized sales tax. I did not get a chance to get through all of the people who wrote me, but some of them who wrote me are business people. They are not in favour of this sales tax. They cannot see anything to benefit them with this sales tax. They are against it. These are small-business owners. They are the ones who are going to get hurt, just like the working class families. They are the ones who are really going to get hurt with this sales tax.
