Thank you, Mr. Chair. You did get it right; very good job. Most people don't get it on the first try.
I would like to direct my questions to the representatives from the Stratford Festival. Our Conservative deputy House leader, who's on the call right now, is also a strong supporter of the Stratford Festival and the huge jobs it brings to southwestern Ontario.
I'm an MP from northwestern Ontario, representing the riding of Kenora. I think we are very similar in the sense that in normal times, we're a hot spot for domestic and international tourists. Right now, many of our small businesses who rely on those tourists are being hurt by this. It's not just hotels and camps, as previously mentioned, but also restaurants, retail stores and a number of other businesses. I'm sure the economy in Stratford is very similar to that.
I wonder if you could provide a little more detail on some of the economic benefits of tourism to our local communities and, by the same token, the negative impacts of a reduced season.
