Mr. Speaker, last year we launched Canada's new tourism vision. Budget 2017 stabilized Destination Canada's budget at $95.5 million per year. We announced $8.6 million to grow Canada's indigenous tourism industry. We are enhancing tourism data collection by providing Statistics Canada $13.5 million over five years.
The year 2017 was the best ever for the tourism industry, with over 20 million international visitors spending $21 billion across our great country.
Together with the member for Long Range Mountains, and I hope all members and all Canadians, we will build on this success, because our investments are working.
