Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her excellent question.
In fact, many sectors in my riding have been affected. Obviously the pandemic has really hit the tourism sector. I think that is the reality. For its part, the manufacturing industry is doing relatively well right now. We are even seeing a shortage of employees in some manufacturing sectors in my riding.
To add to my colleague's question, I would like to come back to something I forgot to mention earlier.
As soon as people within Canada start to get vaccinated, what can we do to allow them to resume their tourist activities? Could we, through the help of a passport or some other means, identify them as having been vaccinated to allow them to travel from region to region?
Different countries in Europe have already adopted this approach. We could bring in something like that. We could at least think about it in the next few weeks so that this summer people can have this passport I mentioned that would identify them as having been vaccinated. Then they would be able to travel between provinces.
