Our workers are the lifeblood of this industry. To be clear, we have lost a lot of workers who have permanently moved on to other sectors, but we have maintained as many as we possibly could through the generous support of the government with the wage subsidy program. Those workers' jobs are absolutely in peril. If there are no businesses, there are no jobs.
We are desperately trying to keep the businesses afloat and desperately trying to keep as many as we can of our long-standing employees, whose hearts are in hospitality and who have spent their lives building their skills and experience. Here I'm talking about at all levels, from senior levels right down. We are the industry of first Canadian jobbers and new Canadians and immigrants. Most of Canada's vulnerable workers are employed in the tourism and hospitality sectors. They are who is at risk here. We are desperately trying to keep them employed.
