Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my hon. colleague for his most passionate speech about his hometown of Chemainus. I can tell by the twinkle in your eye, Mr. Speaker, that you will be booking your next vacation to Chemainus. I know that warms the heart of my hon. colleague from Nanaimo—Cowichan.
My colleague spoke quite eloquently about his hometown and all the hard work that has been done to create this thriving tourism hot spot.
As I said to my hon. colleague yesterday who made a similar speech on this topic, when it comes to the level of jurisdiction, I believe there is a role for all three levels of government, the municipal, provincial and federal government, in promoting tourism. Obviously tourism falls into provincial jurisdiction.
Does my hon. colleague think we could respect a balance between the provinces and the federal government in the role of promoting tourism in light of these changes?
