Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his question and welcome him to the House of Commons.
This government has been focusing on small, medium and large businesses, and people in the business community have noticed the improvements that this government has made.
Today we are talking about budget 2013. I hope my colleague will allow me to say a few words about some of the tax relief in the budget such as the tax relief for new manufacturing machinery and equipment by extending the accelerated capital cost allowance for two years. The NDP will vote against this relief even though it will help manufacturers.
Again, if everyone watching us wants to read about this tax relief they can turn to budget 2013. No need to take my colleague's word for it.
