Randy Williams is the president of our association. He was making that observation in the context that post-9/11, airline traffic gradually climbed back to a pre-event level after a few years, and SARS had a temporary impact on visits to Toronto as well. I think the point he was trying to make was that this would be a permanent addition of 6% to the cost structure facing these people, and hence it may well have a longer-term impact.
