Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to suggest to the Minister that the time for discussing that might be coming to an end pretty soon here. This is his third budget and it is time for him to act as soon as possible, Mr. Speaker. One of the four things that the report mentions, in terms of the burden for small businesses, is the high taxation and a shortage of skilled labour, and some of the paper burden on the government which I think the government can really take leadership on. The WCB premium, I said it's tripled in the last three years, but it increased by 25 percent each of the last three years. I'd like to know if the Minister of Finance would undertake reviewing the burden on small businesses and come back to this side of the floor within the next couple of months so we could really take an action on that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
