When the businesses have all of these increased costs, the first thing they have to do is raise their costs to their consumers. That means, taking some of these businesses you're talking about, they're going to be competing against international companies that may not have to have this added cost.
WestJet might be competing against, I don't know, American Airlines, and Westjet may now have to have this extra cost that American Airlines doesn't. WestJet's tickets might get more expensive than American Airlines' and people won't want to fly Westjet.
Doesn't this also hurt the economy, in terms of potentially making us uncompetitive in some areas?
