Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have some information to share and a question I would like to ask.
I care a lot about the development of the tourism industry across the country, so let's talk about investment and return on investment. Yesterday, we met with representatives of Destination Canada. They told us that one dollar of public funding generates $24 in revenue. What is more, one in 10 jobs rely on tourism, and tourism is Canada's second-largest service export. In figures, that amounts to $31 billion per year. As you know, yesterday, it was pointed out that, after four times in 10 years, if there is one industry that has not prospered the way that it should have, it is the tourism industry.
How is it that the government has not kept its promise to conduct a comprehensive EI reform? We have hard numbers on the return on investment, as I mentioned. Why is the government not conducting this reform?
