Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague.
The NDP is the only party that has denounced the abusive transaction fees small and medium-sized businesses are charged, particularly for credit card transactions. We also want the hiring tax credit to be restored.
The NDP is also the only party that defends co-ops, businesses that are 100% Canadian and create a sustainable, fair economy.
The government claims it wants to help small and medium-sized businesses, but it is completely neglecting a sector of our economy that creates jobs in Canada and contributes to our multi-faceted economy.
