Thank you, Blake. Thanks for the questions and the comments and the support for tourism.
As I said at the outset, I don't think Parliament was designed to deal with this type of situation. I think the government has done a tremendous job putting programs in place. In fact, as I mentioned earlier, we asked for every single one of the measures that have been put in place, but the other thing I always say is that the devil is always in the details. When you start sifting through, there are always unintended consequences when you design something quickly and try to put it into place.
What we're here doing and what we've been advocating to government is to say thank you for what you've done so far, but there are some deficiencies in these programs and we need to fine-tune them to make sure they address the issues that are specific to tourism. I've talked about them. So did Cathie Bolstad.
I think the most important thing we need is liquidity. We are hearing that from everyone. The CERB has been one of those initiatives that were put in place very quickly and very efficiently, and that seem to be working as they've launched this service. I think what we need to do with liquidity measures is also to figure out a program that's going to be simple to use, that people can actually access quickly and that will get money into people's pockets, because that's what we need to do urgently.
