Izikhumulo zezindiza zaseCanada zilindele ukukhushulwa kwemali enkulu nokuncishiswa kwensiza

Ukwehluleka kukahulumeni nemboni yezindiza ukwamukela indlela ephelele yokuxhaswa kwezindiza ngesikhathi sobhadane lwe-COVID-19 kushiya izikhumulo zezindiza zesifunda nezomphakathi zakuleli onqenqemeni lokuwa kwezezimali kanye nezindiza ezibhekene namanani amakhulu kanye nezindleko ezikhuphukayo ngo-2021.

Ngaphandle kokwehla okumangazayo kwezithuthi zabagibeli bezindiza kusukela Covid-19 ubhadane luqale ngoMashi, izikhumulo zezindiza ezincane zaseCanada zithwale umthwalo wezezimali wokugcina imigwaqo yazo yezindiza, amatheminali endiza, nezinsizakalo eziphuthumayo ngaphandle kokuthola usizo lwangaphambilini noma lwamanje lwezezimali.

Lapho ohulumeni nomphakathi bezwa ngezimo ezimbi emkhakheni wezindiza ukugxila kakhulu kuzindiza ezinkulu nasezikhumulweni ezinkulu zezindiza ezixhumanisa abantu baseCanada ezindaweni ezinkulu ezisemadolobheni nezwe eliya kwamanye amazwe, futhi lokho kuyakhathaza Izikhumulo Zezindiza Zomphakathi ZaseCanada (RCAC).

"Kubo bonke abantu baseCanada abangaphandle kwezikhungo zethu ezinkulu zasemadolobheni yizikhumulo zezindiza zesifunda nezasekhaya ezixhumanisa izifunda ezinkulu zezwe lethu ukuthola izinsizakalo ezibalulekile, nokuhamba kwezebhizinisi nokungcebeleka", kusho uBrian Grant, uSihlalo we-RCAC.

“Lezi zikhumulo zezindiza ezincane zidlala indima ebaluleke kakhulu ekuhlinzekeni ukufinyelela okukude nezinga lempilo elindelwe yibo bonke abantu baseCanada. Ukuhanjiswa kokudla okubucayi, ukunakekelwa kwezempilo okuphuthumayo, imithwalo ebalulekile, ukukhishwa esimweni esiphuthumayo, izinsiza zokulwa nomlilo ehlathini ziyizibonelo ezimbalwa zalokho okwethulwa yizikhumulo zezindiza zezifunda nezomphakathi ngaphezu kokuhamba komoya kwabagibeli ”  

Ngokusho kwe-RCAC zonke izikhumulo zezindiza ziye zancishiswa kakhulu emalini etholwayo futhi zehliswa noma zakhanselwa insizakalo yezindiza okubashiya bengakwazi ukubhekana nezindleko zokusebenzisa izikhumulo zezindiza ngaphandle kokuthi ohulumeni bangenele ngokuxhaswa okuqondile kwezezimali kungekudala.

"U-2020 ube unyaka wokuncishiswa okujulile kwabasebenzi kanye nezinsizakalo ezincishisiwe, ngaphansi kwengcindezi yemali etholakalayo elahlekile, ukuhlangabezana nezindleko ezingaguquki zokusebenza nokuphepha okushiwo umthethonqubo kahulumeni kanye nezindleko ezintsha ezihlobene nobhadane ukuqinisekisa ukuphepha nokuzethemba kwabahambi", kuyaqhubeka Mnu Grant. “Ngo-2021 lezi zikhumulo zezindiza zilinganisela ukwenyuka okungaphezulu kuka-45-60% kwamanani nezimali ezikhokhiswa izinkampani zezindiza nabagibeli ukuze baqhubeke nokusebenza njengoba zikhona namuhla. Ezimweni eziningi izimali ezibekiwe seziphelile futhi okuncishisiwe okusalele ukuvalwa kwengqalasizinda yesikhumulo sezindiza ”.

Izincomo ezivezwe yinhlangano kazwelonke yokusekelwa okusebenzayo zifaka phakathi:

• Qinisekisa ukufaneleka kwezikhumulo zezindiza kanye nezomphakathi kuzo zonke izinhlelo zosizo ze-COVID (okusho uxhaso lwamaholo aphuthumayo, izinhlelo zokudonswa kwemali ekhokhelwa kanye nemalimboleko, kanye noxhaso lokuqasha njll.) Ngaphandle kokubusa noma imodeli yobunikazi.
• Zinzisa uMxhaso Womholo Ophuthumayo waseCanada wezikhumulo zezindiza ungabi ngaphansi kwama-75% ngonyaka wezi-2021 ukuvikela amandla okuqashwa kwalezi zikhumulo zabasebenzi.
• Nikeza ngosizo lwezezimali ukukhokhela izindleko zokusebenza ezingaguquki emazingeni ka-2019 ukuqeda ukusilela nokugwema amazinga kanye nezimali ezikhokhiswayo ukuze kuqiniswe umsebenzi wezindiza nowezokuvakasha.
• Khulisa ukuxhaswa ngezimali kohlelo lwe-Airport Capital Assistance Program kuya ku- $ 95 mil ngonyaka (isicelo semboni ngaphambi komqedazwe we-COVID-19 osukela eminyakeni engaphezu kwemibili).
• Lungisa umkhawulo wokunikela we-federal ku-ACAP ungabi ngaphansi kuka-75% wezindleko zephrojekthi efanelekile futhi wehlise isidingo sokufaneleka sesevisi yokugibela yabagibeli yezikhumulo zezindiza ezifanelekile zango-2021 kuya ku-2025, ukuqinisekisa ukuvikelwa nokugcinwa kwengqalasizinda ebalulekile nemishini ngesikhathi isikhathi sokululama kwangemva kobhadane.
