I can speak for the hotel side, Mr. Garneau. We look at it in terms of bookings, and we see how they fell off almost overnight. Yet we see now that the group bookings, the business bookings for the third and fourth quarters next year, are starting to come back a little bit.
Are we optimistic? Yes. What attracts my attention a lot more is when I see a GDP growth rate of 3.5% projected for British Columbia next year. That gets me quite excited.
Are there things beyond our control? Yes. By nature, the business all of us at this table are in is to see the bottle half full, not half empty. I don't know, maybe they have the wrong guy in the job here. But at the end of the day, yes, I think we've bottomed out. If we keep learning from all these things, I think that's the important thing. You, as parliamentarians, are listening to us today, and that's a good story right there.
