Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you all for being here today.
I am very interested in the security costs you mentioned, which are no doubt increasing steadily. You do not have to have white hair like our chairman to realize that security measures at major events have increased quickly in recent years. In the case of festivals like the ones we have in Sherbrooke, within a just few years, security measures have multiplied, and they continue to increase. Have you estimated the average increase in the cost of those measures for festivals? What do the security measures cost?
Similarly, turning to Mayor Nenshi, who I thank for being here, I would like to ask whether there is a major impact on police forces when large events are held. We know that security officers often work there and that they work for certain companies, such as Garda. I know there is also a police presence at such events, such as the Calgary Stampede.
How much does it cost for festivals and for municipalities, which also have to provide security?
