Niagara Falls MP Tony Baldinelli is asking the Trudeau Liberals to provide more details on the Highly Affected Sectors Credit Availability Program.
In a statement, Baldinelli, who is also the Special Advisor to the Conservative Leader on Tourism Recovery, criticized the Liberals for not providing enough transparency about the program.
"The Liberals announced the HASCAP more than a month ago. Since then, businesses still don’t know when they can apply, who will qualify, or when funding will come."
He says that the delay is putting travel and tourism jobs at risk.
"Our travel and tourism sector was one of the first hit hard by COVID-19 and it will be one of the last to fully recover. The September 2021 timeline from the Trudeau Liberals to vaccinate the majority of Canadians means another summer tourism season is now at risk. This Liberal government needs to take action now before more businesses close and more jobs are lost."
