Mr. Speaker, we are again ignoring the promise in the Liberal platform of reducing the small business tax rate.
I will quote the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, which stated:
We are disappointed at the government’s decision to push back the small business tax reduction and we question the idea of contemplating increases to CPP at this point. As businesses struggle, this added pressure could slow down job creation and investment....
While it is fine to talk about the reduction in costs for student tuition and lower debt when students graduate, what help is it to students to graduate with a bit lower debt if there are no jobs to go to once they have graduated?
