Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe for highlighting the importance of the tourism sector in Canada.
Tourism businesses shown tremendous resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have been there for them with more than $15 billion in support. In budget 2021, we announced that we are investing an additional $1 billion to help businesses get ready to welcome tourists as soon as it is safe to do so.
I thank the tourism businesses for doing everything in their power to keep Canadians safe.
