Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses. I'd like to commend you on your recommendations. The recommendations were quite specific and sector-based. You also presented a point of view as to why some of the programs still have opportunity for improvement vis-à-vis the sector you're in. As I was listening to all the witnesses, I realized that there's another stakeholder group in this equation that we need to consider, which is the consumers.
Many of you have indicated some of the surveys that have been done by your organizations. I'd like to get some insight as to whether any of these surveys may have probed into consumer sensitivity, whether in terms of visitors from abroad, visitors from the U.S., visitors from other provinces or local visitors. What have you observed about the attitude and the motivation of these consumers? That will be able to give us a balanced view of the industry as well as the consumers.
I'd like to start with the Tourism Industry Association and Ms. Bell. Have any of your studies indicated anything regarding consumers' behaviour or consumers' sentiment?
