We simply wouldn't have an industry standing today. We would have lost the anchor businesses in this sector. Here I'm talking about the hotels, the convention centres and the attractions. We would have lost hundreds of thousands of tourism operators who provide those Canadian experiences, not to mention the indigenous experiences we have across this country. We would have lost significant infrastructure in the travel infrastructure space, in the fleets of RVs and buses going back and forth. In our air sector we would have had a collapse had it not been for the support.
The reason Bill C-2 is so important is that we are so on that brink of collapse in our off-season with growing travel restrictions around us. Our goal here is to preserve the core anchor businesses within the sector so that we have the infrastructure standing on the other side to allow the sectors to build back.
