Mr. Speaker, today Canada is internationally recognized as one of the best places in the world to do business.
Our red tape reduction action plan promises to further enhance Canada's reputation. Reducing red tape is an important way in which the government can help entrepreneurs and small business do what they do best: innovate, create jobs and grow the economy.
On another note, as I am the last speaker in the House of Commons before the Christmas break, I would like to thank you, the Speaker, the Clerk, the House officers, pages and staff, everyone that allows all of us as parliamentarians to do our jobs well for Canadians.
I want to wish all, as well as my constituents at home in Simcoe—Grey and people across the country, all Canadians, a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Merry Christmas, Mr. Speaker.
