Yes. Thanks again, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Reimer, my office was recently in touch with Senator Tina Smith's office. We're dealing with an issue with the Northwest Angle.
They informed us that Canada is on a do-not-travel list. We're in the company of countries such as Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan. Whereas countries such as China are a level 3, we are a level 4. That has to impact your business. Other countries around the world, globally, see us as not a safe destination.
We hear the opposite in the media. We hear how terrible things are south of the border, but in reality, when they look at us, they find us to be in a very troubling situation when it comes to our response to the pandemic and how we've dealt with it. We know that lockdowns and restrictions don't come.
Recently our House debated a motion calling on the government to produce a data-driven plan for reopening the economy. In the recent budget that was presented, the Liberals say they have a plan for the safe reopening of our borders, but they don't provide any details. There aren't any schedules in there, or benchmarks or markers, or as our chair likes to call it, there are no “hard stops” as to when this economy will reopen or what the things are that need to happen.
How important to you is a plan that has transparency so that you know when you can restart your business?
