I appreciate that. That's kind of what we were learning locally as well.
One of the loopholes we've seen in the bill—any bill that any government is putting forth is not always bulletproof—was the paid sick leave and how you don't need doctors' notes. It's loosey-goosey. Anybody could say they're sick and achieve the benefits, which would be another hindrance to the Hotel Association.
The industry can't fill the previously mentioned positions sometimes, because a large number of hotels are turning to the temporary foreign worker program, only to find out that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada can't process these files in a reasonable timeframe, considering the well-known crisis that you already alluded to that exists in your industry. I just wanted to verify that, because I understand how the pandemic must have affected the hotel industry overall in Canada.
I appreciate your answer, and I have one question now for Mr. Saretsky. We've heard that Canada's real estate has gone up so much that the Canadian public is basically all but expected at this point—although it's not the best practice—to remortgage their homes and use that equity to pay for food, gas and utilities in an already unaffordable Canada, due to inflation and Liberal mismanagement. However, to turn around and give the businesses money to pay their bills....
Why can't the businesses take the equity out of their buildings and pay the bills the way that the rest of Canada has to in this climate?
