Madam Speaker, I am incredibly saddened by the politicization that we just heard from the Liberal member.
It is incredibly frustrating to hear this when we are talking about a critically important industry in our country. The fact is that half a million Canadians are out of work as a result of the inaction of his government, yet he says that the debate is not important today. What does he tell those 500,000 Canadians whose jobs are hanging in the balance while his government does nothing?
The politicization of this, somehow characterizing it as something that is not important saddens me. The tourism industry is critically important to our country and those workers deserve to know what the plan is for the economic recovery of that industry.
