Replying to Brad Vis (Conservative)
“Madam Speaker, that was a very serious question, and I hope to see the change in the budget, because that was not an answer. Here is another thing. The small supplier GST threshold has been frozen at $30,000 since it was introduced in 1991. Thirty-five years later, inflation has skyrocketed, costs have risen and small businesses have changed. Conservatives propose to increase the threshold to $60,000 to help entrepreneurs get ahead and reduce red tape. Will the government accept our proposal to help small businesses cut costs and invest more?”
