Mr. Speaker, as a former small business entrepreneur myself, I understand the importance of affordability. This is why our government is delivering $2.5 billion to close to 600,000 small- and medium-sized enterprises by the end of the year through the Canada carbon rebate. As I mentioned already, we have negotiated agreements with both Visa and Mastercard to reduce their interchange fees by up to 27%. This is a real, tangible difference that is going to help small businesses across this country. We are going to continue to fight climate change while supporting small businesses.
Happy Small Business Month.
