We need them to bring to life the Prime Minister's commitments from January 29.
The Prime Minister made two very encouraging commitments and I want to thank him for those commitments. He stated that the Government of Canada will review the relationship between testing and quarantine. He indicated that the government is committed to the safe restart of travel and tourism.
The reason the letter you cite states April 30 is that is the date we agreed to suspend our sun flying until. It's based on our understanding that the current hotel policy is a temporary policy. It is a temporary policy to deter travel and it is a temporary policy to curb the spread of variants. We understand that, but while we are frozen, now is the time to work on that plan.
I don't speak for the government, obviously, but I hope they will continue speaking to their commitment. I hope they're committed to fulfilling that commitment. There is some really positive indication of this so far from Minister Alghabra and others in the government.
The important thing to note here, MP Kusie, is that this is not just about airlines. It's our entire travel and tourism sector. There are hoteliers and others who are waiting right now to know whether or not they should be hiring staff for the summer.
We do need lead time and we do need urgency. We'll just continue to plug at it and work with our labour partners, hoteliers and tourism operators as best we can.
