What about the actual impact when you remove a visa requirement? Is there any sense in terms of the number of people who would be coming to Canada to visit compared to the time in which you had a visa requirement? I would think there would be a significant increase. Is there any sort of statistical analysis done to find out to what degree we have more people coming to visit Canada as a direct result of dropping the visa requirement?
