You are right, especially since the Canadian brand is particularly strong. Our country is a leader in this sector, and yet our brand is suffering.
In the document entitled “Gateway to Growth: Connecting America”, the paragraph in the section “Keeping pace with the world-targeting 4% growth” states: “Over the past decade Canada's international arrivals have dropped by nearly 2%”. A table shows the change in room nights and in spending. It is interesting to look at the “government revenues attributed”. According to the table, if we had been able to keep up with the 4% global growth, those revenues would have been an additional $151 million.
Could you comment on how this type of contribution from the federal government could have compared to the contribution it actually made?
