Mr. Speaker, in a period of global economic instability, small businesses across the country continue to face challenges. They need our continued support.
Unfortunately, the only ideas we hear from the NDP involve just that, a $21 billion carbon tax that would be devastating to small businesses. Small businesses simply cannot afford the NDP high-tax agenda.
Can the Minister of State (Finance) please tell Canadians how our economic action plan 2012 will help small businesses?
