Mr. Speaker, Waterloo, in many ways, resembles a piece of my riding in the Mile End, which has enormous potential for economic growth because it contains so many small start-ups and so much new innovation. The budget really answers the call for those entrepreneurs and those individuals who want to be part of the economy of the future. The productivity superdeduction is there, of course, but there are also a lot of smaller measures that are going to help small businesses and entrepreneurs throughout the country in order to develop their ideas and in order to protect their ideas. As I mentioned and the member mentioned, Canadian intellectual property is extremely important, and we are going to build that out in order to ensure that Canadians own the ideas of the future.
