Mr. Rahim Jaffer: Mr. Speaker, I will begin by putting to rest the hon. member's concerns. Being a member of a small business association within the area that I did business prior to being elected, one of the biggest concerns people within that organization raised was not so much that they did not think access to capital was an important issue, I do not think anyone is arguing that, but what they did raise was that there was limited choice, as the hon. member mentioned, with traditional lenders.
M. Rahim Jaffer: Monsieur le Président, je tiens à rassurer le député, car, pour avoir moi-même fait partie d'une association de petites entreprises avant d'être élu à cet endroit, je puis lui dire que les gens d'affaires de cette association ne mettaient pas en doute l'importance de l'accès au capital—je pense que personne ne conteste cela.
