Mr. Speaker, these are mostly part-time jobs and this is a serious issue that is coming up in this next budget.
Small businesses are bracing for this next budget. They already know that they have been hit by the Prime Minister's carbon tax, the EI hike, the CPP tax hike, and his cancellation of the small business hiring credit. At the same time, they are worried about the impact of Donald Trump's low tax rates. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and yet the Prime Minister just keeps taxing them more and more.
When will the Prime Minister give small businesses a break?
