Mr. Chair, I will be splitting my time with the member for Kelowna—Lake Country. Is the minister against people owning cottages to relax as a family and/or for their mental health?

Mr. Chair, cottages are outside the affordability of almost everyone. What is the difference between owning a cottage, or going to a cottage, and owning a boat, if that is how families choose to spend their leisure time?

Mr. Chair, how can you then justify supporting such a tax if you do not know if it will apply to businesses? How will you ensure that this will not apply to rental yachts, aerial tour planes, or limousines, or can you justify that the impact of this tax will be positive for Canadians and the boating sector?

Mr. Chair, the payments have been increased to meet our obligations that we agreed to. We were behind for seven years, so when will the $9 million that was just committed in this budget be paid? That same commitment was made in 2017.
