I have a letter here from the Peace Bridge authority saying that border processing times “are approximately 50% longer than prepandemic processing times”.
My community is the number one tourism/leisure destination in all of Canada. It generates $2.4 billion in tourism receipts. That was in 2019, the best tourism year ever, and we've had two devastating years since because of COVID. We're looking to save the 2022 tourism season.
Mr. Vinette, have you been to Niagara lately? Have you examined the four border crossings in my community alone? Do you understand the impact that the decisions on the mandatory use of ArriveCAN is having on our tourism community?
