Mr. Speaker, I again thank my hon. colleague for his efforts and his encouragement for us to make the right moves.
Part of the right moves that we have made in support of our industries and our small businesses is to reduce the small business tax rate, as well as to increase the small business tax rate threshold and to increase the lifetime capital gains exemption for small business owners.
I also draw the member's attention to the words of his Liberal colleague, the member for Scarborough Southwest, in this weekend's Toronto Sun:
We have the best banking system on the globe. The cynical and critical discourse aimed at our banks is troubling.... Instead of having pride in our banking system, we have a penchant to bank bash.
I encourage all colleagues in this House to work to help protect consumers, and we hope that we can do that.
