I want to agree with Mr. Julian. We rarely do, but in this case, quite frankly, if the target was the wealthy, all this Liberal government has done is to inflict massive unintended collateral damage on an industry that can't afford it in the middle of a pandemic, especially for $15 million of tax revenue perhaps. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6765611\" data-originallang=\"en\">Have you reached out to the government to discuss your concerns about the budget that's been tabled and whether there's perhaps a way of reversing course on this?</p>",

Je suis d'accord avec M. Julian. Nous le faisons rarement, mais dans ce cas-ci, tr\u00e8s franchement, si la cible \u00e9tait les riches, tout ce que le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral a fait, c'est d'infliger d'\u00e9normes dommages collat\u00e9raux involontaires \u00e0 une industrie qui ne peut pas se le permettre au milieu d'une pand\u00e9mie, surtout pour 15 millions de dollars de recettes fiscales, peut-\u00eatre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6765611\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Avez-vous communiqu\u00e9 au gouvernement vos pr\u00e9occupations au sujet du budget qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9pos\u00e9 et demand\u00e9 s'il peut faire marche arri\u00e8re?</p>"
