Petition to the House of Commons
  
     WHEREAS
    
      
        More than 12,000 Independent Travel Advisors in Canada have been without income for one year due to Government imposed COVID Travel restrictions, and these Small Business owners are Sole Proprietors;
        Federal Assistance Programs like CEBA, CERS, CEWS & 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:
    
      
        Provide Sector specific funding for Independent Travel Advisors;
        Extend the qualifications of the RRRF in Urban areas to include Sole Proprietors.
