Mr. Speaker, this government is not in tune with the needs of small business in Canada.
When the Minister of Finance created a task force to examine soaring credit card fees, this same task force was charging small businesses up to $45,000 just for the privilege of being consulted.
The Liberal Party has a plan to do things differently. It will find better and easier ways to make investments in new equipment and new processes. It will give Canadians access to ongoing skills development training. It will invest in key sectors. It will cut red tape and develop an international network to create opportunities around the world.
The Liberal Party cares about small businesses, and will work with them to build a better future, at no cost to them.
