Mr. Speaker, the response I got from small business owners across Macleod to economic action plan 2015 has been outstanding, but I was really disappointed to see the leader of the Liberal Party turn his back on small business, just as he has done on the manufacturing sector. Why is the leader of the Liberal Party against helping small businesses which are the backbone of our economy? They create the vast majority of private sector jobs. They grow our economy.
Would he rather create more jobs for big government rather than help small business and manufacturers—
