Madam Speaker, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business is calling on the Department of Finance to give affected small businesses a minimum credit of $1,000 in their GST/HST accounts to offset the administrative and programming costs because of the impact this short-term GST cut will have on them. New Democrats are in favour of that and think that making this GST cut permanent is the way to go.

In light of that, is the government willing to move forward with that $1,000 credit for the losses businesses may have?
