Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have a question for Mr. Thibault, and then if I have enough time, one for Mr. Falconer.
Mr. Thibault, thank you very much for your contribution and your comments today.
In my riding there's a small hotel with 130 rooms that has already agreed to convert into a small hospital. I am very proud of that. I am also pleased that Mr. Legault, from the Quebec government, is still looking for another 3,000 to 4,000 rooms. I think this is a good opportunity to help COVID-19 patients, but also the other patients who are currently in the hospital.
I understand the importance of the hotel and tourism industry to my riding and to the rest of Canada and Quebec as a whole. I also recognize that this industry is one of the sectors most affected by COVID-19. Over the past few days, the federal government has announced a number of measures, including loans, wage subsidies and tax deferrals to help struggling businesses stay afloat during this crisis.
Can you tell us how your members have been able or plan to benefit from these measures to maintain their activities and their staff? Is there any way the government could provide more support to the hospitality and tourism sector?
