Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My questions will be addressed first to Mr. Thibault.
Mr. Thibault, the picture you presented of the situation in your industry is alarming. You talked about the drop in sales between March 10 and 23 and the projections of less than 90% of what was expected in April. The industry has completely collapsed because of the crisis. You also said that 40% of the operators had suspended operations.
You expressed concern about the duration of the measures. Of course, we would like the government to extend them if necessary.
Do you think the duration of these measures should be adapted according to the sectors?
Even if the situation were to improve over the summer, your industry will not get back on its feet immediately. An extension of the measures could allow small regional hotel operators to get help during the summer and allow seasonal workers who depend on them to work the hours necessary to qualify for employment insurance.
What do you think?
