Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
My question is for Ms. McKenzie.
You talked about airports. We know that, at the airports, foreign visitors have to go through customs. I visited two places this summer, including Cranbrook, British Columbia, a town that was given a customs post in 2008. I also went to Mont-Tremblant, in Quebec, another town that was granted a customs post in 2007, I believe. I saw the vitality that there was in those new destinations.
The government is very restrictive in adding customs posts to receive foreign visitors. They focus particularly on the airports in the major cities such as Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. I'm sure there are some elsewhere, but they are mainly in the major centres.
In my riding, there are plans for a customs post to attract tourists because of the specific characteristics there. Do you think that plans for new tourist destinations aimed at new markets, foreign visitors, would help develop the tourism industry, or should this be focused instead in centres such as those we currently have?
