Thank you very much for bringing that up, Mr. Poilievre. That also concerns agricultural businesses. I remind you that cooperatives are not paying wages and that they are not eligible for the $40,000 loan. That is a very important issue.
Also, when committees invite association representatives—and I do have some experience here—it is always pleasant, but the issue is that they talk in very general terms. This week, I submitted names of Quebec's regional tourist associations. I also submitted names of owners of small hotels of 200 or 300 rooms and other even smaller hotels. Instead of inviting association representatives, it would be a good idea to invite witnesses who are personally experiencing the crisis. Associations are not experiencing the crisis, but rather their members. So it would be important for us to talk directly with members to find out how things are going in their own business.
By the way, I am a business owner myself, and I will have to invest $250,000 in my company, not to develop it, but to save it. Yet tourist industry people are going through exactly the same thing, and it is probably even worse, as that industry will not restart or will nearly not restart this summer.
