Thanks very much.
You've acknowledged that you are not in a position to comment on the border reopening or give advice to the government. You're not involved in those conversations explicitly. However, we obviously know that the border closure has a deep and lasting impact on the tourism sector here in Canada. In regard to, in your words, the “devastation” of the COVID-19 pandemic, you have said that you need clarity around reopening milestones, consistency in protocols, and governments to act with urgency.
On July 5, we're going to say fully vaccinated Canadians and permanent residents don't need to quarantine, and there will be freer travel as a result. When we look at Americans and the importance of allowing those fully vaccinated Americans to come into Canada, I wonder if you can comment on the fact that when I look at the numbers, in 2019, we welcomed 22.1 million international tourists. Of those, over two-thirds were Americans. Over 15 million international tourists came from the United States.
If we said, as an initial phase, that we're going to open our border to our American cousins who are fully vaccinated, what would be the positive impact on the tourism sector in Canada?
