Thank you for your question, Sean. It's nice to see you.
For sure, as you know, historically Halifax Stanfield has played a significant role in the tourism industry in Nova Scotia. Two out of every three tourists who come to Nova Scotia come by way of the Halifax Stanfield airport, and those stats are similar across the country.
We have been working closely with all of the industries because it is so important that the airport be here and ready when the industry rebounds, and certainly this summer will be very difficult for the tourists. We talked earlier on the call about transportation and travel being mostly within Canada in 2020. What we have to do is we have to be financially sound and we have to be ready when that business is ready to come back.
When you think about the tourism industry itself and you think about the airports.... Some of the comments I made earlier about the financial position we're in, perhaps one of the ways we may get out of that is through fees and charges. We're a non-share capital corporation. It will only be able to be absorbed by the system if it is passed on through to the travellers.
The last thing we want to do as an association, as an airport or as an industry is increase our fees into the future to allow us to come out of this. Some of the items that I talked about in my presentation will be helpful in helping us maintain those fees at a low level, because they will be passed on to the consumer.
