Carol Anstey Conservative
“More businesses are closing than opening in Canada. Liberal policies are hurting small businesses. Conservatives support this bill because it helps small businesses survive.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business recently produced a report that talked about the entrepreneurial drought in this country, with more businesses closing than opening. The results are that the Liberal policies are not supporting small and medium-sized businesses. That is not my opinion; that is just the reality. These are the measures that we as Conservatives believe support small and medium-sized businesses, and that is why we are advocating for them.”
