Okay, for sure. I can't speak too specifically on the tourist sector, the tourism segment. Obviously you guys are still facing different variants and lockdowns and whatnot and restrictions. That's certainly impacting the travel sector.
I am very active in the real estate space, so I'm speaking with people in the real estate space on a daily basis—tons of Canadians. That's where I'd probably focus my attention, but I think we're dealing with certainly some of the ramifications of the spending that's coming through. There are always knock-on effects, and I think that we have to be cognizant of those knock-on effects. Certainly we're seeing those showing up in the housing sector. National home prices are running at 22% year over year, back to back. In 2020, we had record home sales. In 2021, we're going to have another year of record home sales, so I think what we're seeing is that some of these excesses are sloshing around.
I think it's important. Obviously the bill is certainly needed in that there are sectors or segments of the economy that need help, like transportation and hospitality. As I said, I think it's dialing in those flows and making sure we're not overcompensating. That would be my only real commentary. Overcompensation, I think, is showing up in asset prices and particularly in the housing market. I think there's a crisis right now in that segment. That's where I'd focus.
I don't know if anyone has any particular questions on that aspect, but I'm certainly happy to comment on that further.
