You mentioned the VAT. I'll just finish with a comment.
Great Britain rebates the VAT. However, the desks where you get your rebate are on the arrival side of the airport, not the departure side. They indicate you can get a rebate, but they sure don't make it easy.
Mr. Fournier, a couple of questions about your presentation. You're right about a couple of things. The sponsorship scandal affected how people view this type of government spending. In my riding, people were amazed that the Government of Canada would be spending this much money on this type of program.
Now we're talking about going back to that kind of program, and 95% of the spending from an event, you said, is spent outside the event. Why aren't the people who are benefiting from this coming forward and helping you throw these events? Why are you coming to the government for it?
