Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question.
People who live in Manitoba—where I am from—or who live close to the border often experience transport problems between the two countries. Our measures for the transport of goods, whether we are talking about imports or exports, have received the support of small, medium and large businesses.
I would like to read a short quote from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
I will read it in English so that my colleague can understand exactly what it said without paraphrasing or translating. It said:
Overall, this is a good budget for small business. [The minister] has done a solid job by remaining on course to eliminate the deficit while announcing some important measures for Canada's entrepreneurs.
It mentions measures such as the expansion of the EI hiring credit, and it goes on and on.
We have never seen such support from our stakeholders as we have in budget 2013.
