Thank you, Mr. Chair.
On that point, you have on your website an article entitled “Canada to lose 635,000 jobs, petrochemical industry at ‘serious risk’ due to U.S. tax reform”. That's quite significant, and thank you for sharing that in your recommendations, as well.
The question I want to ask you, Mr. Roy, concerns the security costs you indicated. We're seeing that our neighbours to the south in Calgary are applying for the Olympics. I imagine this is of interest to you here from Sport Matters Group, as well. I'm curious as to exactly what type of support you're looking at.
I was talking earlier about the Edmonton Heritage Festival. It's a festival that is the scope of a major park in our city, and part of the attraction is the accessibility of it. People ride their bikes. They rollerblade there. It's encouraged, in fact. Policing something like that, or adding adequate security to that, is a significant challenge. A festival like the Heritage Festival encourages a lot of young families to come, but we don't want to make the cost so prohibitive that we can't have the festival.
I'd like your perspective on where that sweet spot is and what we need to do to ensure that there is adequate security but at the same time it is also made as accessible as possible.
