Mr. Speaker, let us try this again.
This government is a government that lowered taxes on middle-class Canadians by increasing taxes on the wealthiest 1% of Canadians. This government is a government that recognizes that small businesses are the backbone of the Canadian economy and that they are community builders. We want to see them succeed. That is exactly why we are committed to lowering the small business tax rate to 9% by 2019.
I really look forward to members opposite recognizing that small businesses are the backbone of the economy and that they should be paying a lower tax rate.
