Mr. Speaker, last week the government defended its decision to cancel the visitor rebate program by quoting the premier of Nova Scotia. This week the premier was clear in his opposition to the cancellation of the program saying, “the federal government's decision will have an impact on visitation to Nova Scotia”.
Cancelling this program will kill thousands of tourism jobs, particularly in Atlantic Canada.
Will the government listen to the premier of Nova Scotia now and will it keep the visitor rebate program?
