Madam Speaker, the Conservatives whip everybody up on this stuff, just like a lot of their other issues, but small business can really be hurt by this. We see the exodus of far more capital that could be used in local communities. That is why having, for example, employment insurance augmented is far greater because people spend money at small businesses in their areas. It is very important they not be left behind.
