Mr. Speaker, there is a correlation between government regulations that limit resource development and extraction in Canada and the number of small businesses. If we ignore the portion of our economy that actually generates wealth and creates income for Canadians, we are going to see a precipitous decline in the number of small businesses.
In the Fraser Valley, the heartland of agricultural production in Canada, we still have so many businesses tied to mineral exploration and to aerospace manufacturing. They are all tied to the benefits that Canada has been given with respect to critical minerals, oil and gas. If we do not look at reforming our environmental reviews, we will continue to see a decline in the entrepreneurial spirit in Canada, which was so fruitful for so many years and, unfortunately, has seen a precipitous decline under the Liberal government.
