My riding is on Vancouver Island and we are suffering through the exact same things. We just simply do not have visitors coming to enjoy the recreational fishing, whale watching or enjoying all the beautiful lodges and amazing scenery. We are suffering in exactly the same way.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6325803\" data-originallang=\"en\">I want to ask the member about the second part of the motion. We are asking for flexibility with rental assistance now. For months opposition members have been bringing this problem to the attention of the government. Only now are we seeing legislation in the form of Bill <a data-HoCid=\"10926615\" href=\"/bills/43-2/C-9/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy and Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy)\">C-9</a>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6325804\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Does he not find it quite remarkable that we are only just now finding action on this file and we are already in the month of November? It is quite remarkable that we have had to wait this long.</p>", "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6325802\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je remercie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pour ses commentaires sur le secteur du tourisme. Ma circonscription se situe sur l'\u00eele de Vancouver et nous avons exactement les m\u00eames probl\u00e8mes. La p\u00eache r\u00e9cr\u00e9ative, l'observation des baleines, les magnifiques auberges et les fantastiques paysages sont en berne: les touristes ne sont tout simplement pas au rendez-vous. Le tourisme chez nous souffre tout autant.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6325803\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je voudrais demander au d\u00e9put\u00e9 ce qu'il pense de la deuxi\u00e8me partie de la motion. Nous demandons un peu de souplesse dans l'aide au loyer maintenant. Pendant des mois, des d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l'opposition ont attir\u00e9 l'attention du gouvernement sur ce probl\u00e8me et c'est seulement maintenant qu'appara\u00eet une mesure l\u00e9gislative, le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"10926615\" href=\"/bills/43-2/C-9/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy and Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy)\">C-9</a>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6325804\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ne trouve-t-il pas cela vraiment incroyable que les choses commencent seulement \u00e0 bouger maintenant dans ce dossier, alors que nous sommes d\u00e9j\u00e0 au mois de novembre?
