Since Brewster already operates a hotel by the Icefields and runs the Icefields tours, they already are profiting from our National Parks (plus, they run the Banff Gondola and Banff Lake Tours).

Are there any renderings of what exactly is being discussed here, anyway?

Even if the scare tactics of the petition, it doesn't really sound like it's anything more than what is already all over the National Parks now, hiking trails and railings and probably some steps and stuff so that it's easier to walk around the glacier area, and to ensure people don't kill themselves by falling into crevices.

If it's a walkway elevated above the glacier, isn't that better than what we have now where people can walk all over the glacier to their hearts' content? If you're limiting the amount of direct contact that people can have with the glacier, isn't that better than having people walking all over the glacier's surface?
