Mr. Chair, we are proud to have advanced $550 million to small businesses. Reducing costs for businesses through measures such as the small business job credit encourages those business to hire workers and promotes economic growth. It should also allow small business owners to save money over the next two years. Small businesses can use that money to more easily absorb the cost of hiring new workers.
