Mr. Speaker, Canada is the only country in the G7 without a restart plan for international travel. For some small tourism operations in northwest B.C., more than 90% of their clients come from the U.S.
They have already lost one tourism season and many have had to use their savings to keep their staff on. If there is a chance they can salvage part of the coming tourism season, they need time to prepare. The government needs to explain its plan to begin lifting travel restrictions safely.
Could the minister tell Canadians what restrictions will apply to fully vaccinated travellers?
