Mr. Speaker, the member for Mississauga South talked about the tourism industry. The tourism industry is the industry I happen to have grown up in. Over the years I have seen government actions in a positive way and even in a negative way.
The member talked about the GST visitor rebate program. Now, of course, the government has introduced the tour operator and convention incentive program. There were many representations made to the government.
I have had a lot of experience with that GST visitor rebate program. The member talked about accountability. The new program, from my knowledge and understanding, is far more accountable. No American tour groups or conventions have had to pay GST that did not have to pay it before. In fact, no group has had to pay GST that did not have to do so before.
In light of the fact that the new program is much more accountable, is it something the member would be happy to support?
