E-petition
Initiated by Judith Coates from Toronto, Ontario
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:
- More than 12,000 Independent Travel Advisors in Canada have been without income for more than one year due to Government imposed COVID-19 Travel restrictions, and these Small Business owners are Sole Proprietors; and
- Federal Assistance Programs like Canada Emergency Business Account, Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy, Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy and Regional Relief and Recovery Fund (RRRF) exclude the majority of these Small Business Owners, leaving them to slip through the cracks and forcing them into bankruptcy.
We, the undersigned, Citizens and Residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to:
1- Provide sector specific funding for Independent Travel Advisors; and
2- Extend the qualifications of the RRRF in Urban areas to include Sole Proprietors.
