I'll go back to you, Ms. Potter.
I mentioned that I have a couple of questions for you. We have time for one, but that's okay. I was able to steal some more time here, so we'll get to the second one that I wanted to ask you about.
One challenge for industry in Canada, at least in some parts of the country in particular, is trying to lengthen out our season. We know that often, for some parts of the country in particular, the summer season is so critical. If we can lengthen out the season, of course that helps.
One way to get a longer a season and to get some business during the shoulder season is some of the convention business. I think you referenced it a bit earlier, but I wonder if you can just speak to it a little.
I know the challenge can often be that this business books two, three or five years out. We've had a bit of a bump coming out of COVID, but I'm hearing from many in the industry about concerns over the next few years in terms of the amount of business that will be booked or is booked.
I wonder if you can speak a little to the impacts on your industry of some of the uncertainty that was created by things like our country's being one of the last to remove border restrictions coming out of COVID. People felt.... Would the border be open or would it not be? There were things like how difficult visas have been to get and some of the chaos we saw at our airports last summer.
These are all challenges that have been created because of our current government.
I wonder if you can just speak a bit to some of the impacts that this has had on the ability to attract that convention business over the next few years. What kind of impacts will we see on that? Maybe even speak to how important that business is to the industry in attracting people.
