Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
- More than 12,000 Independent Travel Advisors in Canada have been without income for one year due to Government imposed COVID-19 travel restrictions, and these Small Business owners are Sole Proprietors;
- 100% of Travel Advisors’ income comes from commissions earned from their Travel Suppliers, and because of their delayed revenue stream, it takes between 5 and 11 months for Travel Advisors to be paid for work done on the booking of clients’ trips; and
- The Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB) has been the sole source of assistance for most Independent Travel Advisors, who are still actively working in their businesses, but unable to earn revenue.
