My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Small Business, Independent Contractors and the Service Economy, Senator Carr. Has the minister seen the statement from the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry concerning the impact of the CPRS on small and medium sized enterprises? Specifically, it says:

… trade-exposed SMEs … are not eligible for assistance—

and that it would erode profitability by four to seven per cent on average. What action has the minister taken on behalf of small business to ensure viability of small business under the CPRS?
