Mr. Speaker, today marks another step in easing restrictions at the border, including dropping the vaccine mandate for outbound and domestic flights. This is certainly welcome news for the tourism industry, both in the Yukon, Canada's greatest tourism destination, and around the country, as we see the tourism sector begin to recover after two years of struggle. Tourists are on the move once more. Can the Minister of Tourism and Associate Minister of Finance tell this House how our government is supporting the tourism sector?

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my hon. colleague from Yukon for his exceptional work on the file. Unlike the side opposite in this House, our government has supported the tourism sector right from the beginning. We invested $23 billion to make sure the tourism sector could come roaring back after the pandemic. The Conservatives opposed us at every single step. We are sitting down with stakeholders and people across the sector— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, I want to again thank my hon. colleague from Yukon for his exceptional work on the file. Unlike the other side of this House, our government has supported the tourism sector through the pandemic, with $23 billion in investments so that the sector could come roaring back. The Conservatives opposed us every step of the way. We are now meeting with stakeholders across the country to build a federal tourism growth strategy. We are going to make sure that the tourism sector comes roaring back and that we welcome the world to Canada. The Conservatives do not like it, but we do and so does the tourism sector.
