Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for joining us this morning.
Mr. Wudrick from the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, I found your opening presentation very intriguing. For a minute there, I thought you were going to be very critical of small businesses compared to large businesses, but, as your presentation went on, the conclusion that I came to was that if we're going to increase the standard of living in this country, we need to grow small and medium-sized businesses into large businesses. Would you agree?

I would like to change gears right now for Mr. Pecman. I found the creation of the competitiveness council a very fascinating idea. I want to be clear. When we talk about anti-competitive behaviour, are we talking about price collusion and price-fixing or just a lack of competition in general?

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for joining us today. One of the most enjoyable parts about being a member of Parliament is that you get to hear different perspectives from different parts of the country about how we can solve many of the common problems this country has.
Mr. Couillard, I was particularly interested in your proposal. You said that the government should not impose income tax on retirees who go back to work. That's an idea I hadn't thought of before, to be honest. Could you elaborate a little on your proposal? Is it for all taxes, or just income tax from work? Exactly how would your proposal shape up?
I believe you're on mute, Monsieur Couillard.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for joining us today.
I would like to start with Statistics Canada.
Last month, the committee heard testimony from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. We had Ms. Corinne Pohlmann from the CFIB join us. She noted that almost 90% of small business owners surveyed said, “excessive regulations add significant stress to their lives, and almost two-thirds would not advise their children to start a business given the burden of regulations.”
I was wondering. Does Statistics Canada have a way to measure the cost of regulation and over-regulation on small businesses? If so, what were your findings?

Yes, if you could table that for the committee, that would be very helpful.
I wonder, Mr. Peterson, if you could speak in more general terms, then, on what will happen to the socio-economic well-being of the country when two-thirds of small business owners tell their children not to get into small businesses because of the burden of regulation. What will Canada look like in a generation or two if this trend continues?

I would like to change gears now and move to the witnesses from IRCC.
All MPs' constituency offices help their constituents navigate different government programs, and the vast majority of the casework that I deal with in my office has to do with IRCC, particularly on just the amount of time it takes to go from the beginning of the process to the end, especially with temporary foreign workers and permanent resident applications. What is a typical processing time for those types of applications from start to finish? What opportunities are there to speed up the process?

Thank you very much.
It's over to you, Mr. Chair.

Ms. Anghel, from the National Marine Manufacturers Association, you spoke about the luxury tax on boats.
At first glance, one might think that if a person can afford a quarter-million-dollar boat, then they can also easily afford the 10% luxury tax on that boat, and it might not be worth their time, effort or energy to try to avoid paying the tax. I was wondering if you could elaborate a bit on what consumers will do to avoid paying this tax.
