Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise and ask a question of a Conservative MP. I agree with something he raised in his speech, and that is the situation for cruise ships. I have been approached by many in the tourism industry along the B.C. coast who are simply flabbergasted that the Minister of Transport has made a decision that we know for certain, to close the season to the end of 2022.
I have been trying to get a meeting with the Minister of Transport to pursue this matter. I wonder if the hon. member has had any luck in determining why such a date so far removed from today has been selected.
