Mr. Klassen, as the MP for West Vancouver--Sunshine Coast--Sea to Sky Country, I can assure that I won't forget you on Vancouver.
Thank you, David. I know from the numbers you've provided that the riding I represent has the second number of employees in Canada in this industry right after Niagara Falls. Certainly, we see parallel things in sports, having hosted the Olympic and Paralympic games in 2010. Whistler is very keen about tourism. It's great to have good news actually after a parade of some discussions that made it a little bit hard to see where the hope was for musicians.
Mr. Monahan, I just want to tell you that our birthday gift to my son last week was a wrist band for the Ottawa Bluesfest, and so for people in the room, it's a great product. Young people love it. He's 17 and that's what he really wanted. So some good news.
Mr. Goldstein mentioned the distinction between domestic and foreign revenues. This is something that's driving a study that people in my riding are doing right now. In fact, people whom you know, Barrett Fisher, the head of Whistler Tourism, and Stuart McLaughlin and I are working on this together.
I'm really interested to hear your comments on where we should be putting the emphasis as government. Should it be bringing in the foreign dollars or taking what you said is 80%, David, domestic.
Maybe we can start with you, Greg. Just try and keep your answer to a minute or so, so we can go around the table.
