Madam Speaker, I was repeating the comments of my constituents. This is not from the Conservative Party. These are the words I hear from my constituents.
I am concerned about the health of another group in my constituency: our travel agents. Women make up 85% of these businesses. They are small businesses. They have lost their incomes for 13 months, and it will be a minimum of 13 months before they get money from incoming bookings. They are in a dreadful position.
The Air Canada deal does not protect them from past commissions. They are expressing stress, and they are really in trouble as far as business is concerned. We need to find a way to help travel agencies and address the health of travel agents in Canada.
