Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague, the member for Courtenay—Alberni, for his tireless advocacy. In his speech, he so articulately laid out the incredible impact of this pandemic on tourism operators. When I think of northwest B.C., I think of the steelhead guiding lodges in the Bulkley Valley, Haida Gwaii and the tour operators there, the cabin rentals and other small businesses that have been so dramatically hit by this crisis.
Does my hon. colleague think that the current programs created by the government can be adjusted to meet the needs of these small tourism operators, or do we need a new set of programs specifically tailored to the needs of that unique sector?
