Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome. Good morning to all of you.
I'm an MP from Toronto, and tourism is huge in our city. It's something that is essential to the economic well-being of Toronto, as Canada's largest city, but obviously to our country as a whole.
I notice in our briefing notes that about three-quarters of tourism business--and I assume that's based on dollar amounts--is based on internal tourism, tourism by Canadians within Canada, and then about 25% is from abroad. I also notice that in your comments, Mr. Williams, you said that last year we had the lowest level of travel from the U.S. since we began collecting these statistics. You talked about that in the context of the rising dollar. But I'm wondering how much the dollar is a factor, because you also spoke about infrastructure, border crossings, fuel costs, and that kind of thing. How much of that do you attribute to the high dollar?
