I didn't really get much of an answer there. I hear a lot about talking and not much on action. Tourism-based communities like the ones in Banff and Canmore, which I represent, are tourism-based economies and have unemployment rates of 85% or higher. They also don't qualify for a lot of the programs because they're seasonal businesses and make most or all of their revenues for the year from May to October, so they're at risk of losing their entire season.
I have a couple of very specific questions.
Will the government consider making changes to the programs to make sure that seasonal businesses can get help?
What does the government plan to do to help the tourism industry recover after the pandemic?
