Mr. Speaker, anti-American comments by Liberal MPs are hurting the Canadian tourist industry.
The president of the Association of Canadian Travel Agencies says that he has received calls from agents informing him that the unrelenting anti-Americanism of the Liberals has affected up to one-third of their business. He says that Americans are phoning and cancelling their trips because they feel that Americans are not wanted here. This is striking particularly hard at Canada's summer festivals in cities like Stratford which depend on U.S. visitors.
How can the government refuse to disown these anti-American slurs of its own MPs when these are hurting Canadian jobs?
