Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am presenting this motion because I do believe that we cannot be at 12 percent where we are losing money for having the corporate tax at that rate. I do believe that 13 percent will allow us to break even and possibly a little more. I do understand that our government is in fiscal restraint but, as I have stated, I don't believe that we have an opportunity to go through our final situation to the detail where we could prioritize. I do believe that 13 percent will give us extra money, but 14 percent would take us to a two percent increase. That is higher than I would like to see, so I am proposing this motion. I am not going to ask for a recorded vote on this. I understand that we can have a recorded vote on the third reading. Thank you.
