Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Finance will not review the impact of the government's security tax on air travellers for six months. This week the Tourism Industry Association of Canada held an emergency air travel issues forum. Many said six months is too long to wait. By then it will be too late to undo the damage this new GST will inflict on our tourism industry over the crucial summer months.
For the sake of our $54 billion tourism industry and the half million jobs that go with it, will the Minister of Finance immediately review the government's security tax with the affected stakeholders, not just the officials who advised him to impose the tax with no analysis of its impact?
