I can start.
It's really about having predictability and being able to anticipate what's coming. Will the border reopen in three months or six months? What impact will the forecasts have in terms of returning tourism clientele and potential revenues?
The answers to those questions will tell us whether we can keep our staff, as I mentioned earlier. We need to be able to keep our core employees and let them know they can continue working for us; being able to bounce back means we cannot lose them or make drastic investment and staffing cuts. Having that predictability will allow us to plan accordingly and make certain infrastructure upgrades.
Just take Quebec's Croisières AML, for example. Getting ships ready doesn't just happen at the touch of a button. Ensuring the ships are in suitable operating condition requires thorough preparation ahead of time, investments, maintenance and so forth.
Without that predictability, tourism operators cannot plan accordingly and will therefore not be ready when the economy reopens. On top of that, they probably will not have the staff in place after having laid workers off, to say nothing of how difficult the labour shortage will make it to hire new workers.
