Thank you, Madam Chair. We are a little bit behind some of the other jurisdictions in terms of our business tax rate for small businesses. This finally is an opportunity to bring us a little bit more in line and make us more competitive with some of our colleagues across the rest of Canada. Up to this point, we were at or near, in fact, the very top of the pile. This is an opportunity to, again, make us more competitive, and it's a good time. I think one of the MLAs has already mentioned that it's an opportunity to give a bit of release at an occasion and during a context where there has been quite a lot of challenges for small businesses, for all businesses, over the last year. Again, this is one where, really, we are getting ourselves to be more aligned with the rates that you see across the rest of Canada. Thank you, Madam Chair.
