Mr. Speaker, I appreciate having the opportunity to discuss this bill and debate it in the House today and at a later period of time.
I would like to echo the comments of my colleague just now and ask the minister about small businesses. I have heard from so many in my riding of London—Fanshawe that a 10% wage subsidy is simply not enough. Knowing what small business owners put into their businesses, it is their dream and everything that they have in many cases, they want to save their employees and not to have to lay them off.
Therefore, will the government at this time at least consider the 75% wage subsidy that our party has introduced?
