There is a genuine need, despite any difference we might have on the issue, for us all to prioritise the interests of small businesses. It is from there that the job creation and the employment for the future will come. Instead of penalising them, the Minister should incentivise them. I would ask the Minister to review the direction in which he is going with this Bill, which, as I stated earlier, is counter-intuitive, not only to democracy but to small businesses as well.
