Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I thank all of you for your presentations. We don't have a chance to have discussions in-depth with all of you, but we know that your material will be very helpful.
I did want to concentrate on the tourism factor, and the hotel industry is part of this, of course, because we want as Canadians to be internationally competitive, globally competitive, as well as making sure that institutions within our own country are helping. There's huge competition for travelling dollars, particularly as the population ages; we'll have more people doing more travelling in all of the developed world.
My question really is for us to concentrate on what needs to happen for our industry to be internationally competitive. It would be helpful if both of you could just discuss that a little bit.
