For many, many years—and I will go back to the prepandemic period—we were talking a lot in the Atlantic region about extending the season and creating a shoulder season. Now, all you have to do is take a look at many of your restaurants and tourism operators. They're not even open—I don't know if you've noticed—on Mondays and Tuesdays. They're really just focused on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Again, this all comes back to being able to stay open, the cost of doing business and having the labour that you need. I think it's as simple as that. We're not seeing people with that extra little bit of money in their pocket. They're not even able to travel at home.
We talk about staycations. We're not even seeing that anymore. People aren't able to even do staycations, stay within Atlantic Canada or even travel within my own province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It's just too hard with the price of gas.
The businesses are suffering from people not being able to have any disposable income. They're definitely feeling it, and they're trying to be more innovative, but it's definitely a challenge.
