Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague and neighbour for his question.
He raised an excellent point. Several factors have had a negative impact in my region. Obviously, the floods were unavoidable. I am still impressed by the people in my community who rallied even when they did not get the help they expected. Fortunately, our region and our communities are strong.
That being said, as the member mentioned, in addition to the cuts included in this Trojan Horse bill, the government will cause even more problems in the tourism sector. Parks Canada is not the only tourism stakeholder in the region. All of the local businesses offer more services during the busy season. There are even seasonal restaurants because that time of the year is so much busier. Things are much quieter at other times of the year.
Clearly, several factors will have negative repercussions in the long term, as my colleague said. That is why we have to oppose this measure.
The government is missing the big picture because all of the changes will really have a negative impact on people in my region.
