Mr. Speaker, as we know, it is a great day for small business owners in Canada.
In August 2015, we promised in our platform, and let me quote it because these members may want to hear the answer: “to reduce the small business tax rate to 9 percent from 11 percent”.
We said we should be doing that, and we now are doing what we promised. Our government is proud to fulfill our commitment to lowering taxes on small business from 11% in 2015 to 9% in 2019. We have truly listened to Canadians and our caucus to ensure a fairer tax system that will benefit all Canadians.
