Mr. Speaker, last week, I was proud to announce more than $120,000 in federal funding for two businesses in Rockland, Ontario: RONA J. Lalonde & Fils and A. Potvin Construction.
Our federal government fully supports these types of businesses and is committed to doing so, not just by providing grants, but also through many initiatives that yield positive results.
For example, under our leadership, we have reduced corporate income taxes from 22% to 15%.
These significant tax reductions strengthen our businesses; they keep more of their hard earned money to reinvest in their employees and create new jobs. This is a winning recipe for economic growth and job creation.
I am delighted that our government provides ongoing support for our businesses, which promotes the growth of the Canadian economy and all our local economies.
