That's a great question.
We, as an industry, are working right now, as an example, with the Ontario government on their mobile benefit program. It's a pilot program and it looks like it could be a really good way of maintaining and keeping staff.
Right now, that's not the issue. Right now, the issue is that because travel and tourism has been made out to be the bad guy and the one place you don't want to go, the thing that everybody has been denied during this pandemic....
So many people have been laid off that they have picked up their skills and taken them off to other industries. We're actually in a deficit position. In January, we had the worst month of employment loss than even through the early days of the pandemic. The accommodation and food services sector was down over 113,000 people. That's an 11% loss. That is massive.
When you have other sectors and industries talking about being back at capacity, we're nowhere near it. There's a lot of work to do and it's a mixed message. Industry is very much aware that they have work to do on it. We are stepping up and doing that work, and we would love to have government at the table as our partner.
