Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his very relevant question.
I would agree that what is being done for tourism is a step in the right direction. However, in my view, the assistance needs to be more targeted.
As my colleague said, $200 million is being allocated to festivals. There are 56 municipalities in my riding, and they are all small. In one of them, there is a small western festival, and another village is home to a small guitar festival. We do not have any large-scale events. These people and these projects are not getting targeted assistance.
When I received the electronic version of the budget, I did a search and could not find any of the municipalities in my riding, but many big cities with their big projects were included.
I think we need more targeted assistance to meet the needs that exist in all regions.
