Mr. Speaker, the last member quoted Dan Kelly from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. It is amazing that he would quote him, given what the CFIB has said about the government's plan and continuing intentions to attack small business. Indeed, Mr. has Kelly stated:
These proposals, while intended to target the wealthy, will hurt middle-class business owners from every sector of the economy. These are shop owners, farmers, doctors, financial planners, homebuilders and trades in all sectors...
As well, Perrin Beatty, the CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce has said:
In 10 years at the Canadian Chamber, I’ve never seen an issue that has generated greater concern among our members.
That is quite incredible. I wonder if the member could comment on that.
Mr. Speaker, before I do, I wonder if you would see whether we have a quorum in the House at the moment.
