Twice before, the Senate has invited Small Business and Tourism Minister Bardish Chagger to attend Senate Question Period, and in each of those attempts, scheduling on either side scotched the attempt. This time it finally happened, even as votes in the Commons went a bit overtime.
Senator Carignan led off, as he often does, and asked a fairly standard question about the small business tax rate. Charger, used to this question, gave her standard reply about how the government was looking to put more money into people’s pockets, and how that would benefit the revenues of these small businesses.
