I am reaching out to you as the owner/operator of a Private Campground in your riding, a dedicated recreational facility that actively contributes to the Canadian tourism sector. Our campground provides temporary or seasonal access to vacationers and travelers, offering a range of services and amenities that go beyond passive investment.

In our small business, we employ staff and offer diverse services such as [guided tours, retail and restaurant services, recreational activities, and other on-site amenities], all designed to ensure our guests have exceptional experiences. Our operation helps to showcase Canada’s natural beauty and serves as a gateway to exploring the unique aspects of our region. However, despite our active role in the economy, current tax policies do not reflect the dynamic nature of our business.

The introduction of Private Members' Bill C-410 by MP Lianne Rood is a crucial step towards rectifying this oversight. This bill proposes amendments to the Income Tax Act to rightfully classify campgrounds as active businesses, making us eligible for the small business tax rate.

This change is not just about tax relief; it is about recognizing and supporting the valuable services that campgrounds provide to the Canadian economy and culture. I urge you to support this bill, which will help sustain our industry and the communities we serve.

Thank you for your time and for considering this important matter. I am hopeful for your support and look forward to any assistance you can provide.
