As my colleague Chris said earlier, cultural tourism is one of our strengths. We are a mosaic of different cultures and countries that have resided in Canada--so the face of Canada. And one of the challenges we talk about at the tourism level is this. If you're welcomed by an Asian at a Canadian hotel, is that the way you want to present? Is that a Canadian? Of course, we've said yes. Whether it's aboriginal or Asian communities, that is Canada. That's who we are. So that's why we have an advantage over other destinations in the world, because we can welcome you with a face you're familiar with.
