Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses appearing today. I greatly appreciate their presence.
Most of my questions will focus on you, Ms. Potter, and tourism. I'm looking forward to a discussion.
We have a new leader who is putting people first and putting the tourism sector first, and we want to make sure that the people in your industry are fully supported.
I want to discuss some of the Liberal policies and the impact on your industry in particular. We know that the carbon tax started at $20 and now is going up to $170 per tonne. That will be an increase of 750%.
I assume there are many people within the tourism industry who are either dependent on people who are arriving to Canada, transporting within Canada, or maybe even providing the transportation. Do you believe this rapid increase—actually a triple, triple, triple increase—of the carbon tax will have a detrimental impact on the tourism industry?
