Thank you very much for the question.
This is a perfect example of why having this committee in place is so great. You have ideas that I can take and think about and explore with my team to see what comes of them.
In terms of the boutique, I'm certainly open to ideas from members of the public, parliamentarians, and any source. That's a wonderful idea that I will take note of.
The tours provide such an incredible opportunity to really explain to Canadians and visitors from around the world what the Parliament of Canada is all about, including the role of the Senate and the role of the House. We have so much to be proud of, and the tours are a fantastic opportunity to share that knowledge.
This is just an idea for exploration, but I know from my experience in the Senate that one of the most powerful things for visitors is having contact with an individual parliamentarian, a real person. I know that as much as 2-D and 3-D technology is wonderful and that having virtual reality is wonderful, reality is even better. Is there a way that those 350,000 Canadians and visitors who come on tours could have even a moment of time with one of you or one of your colleague just so that when they go home, they have a memory of coming in contact with a parliamentarian who represents them here. It's not just about history. It's also about now. I think there are all sorts of ways we can make those tours and the boutique dynamic, creative, and innovative. I look forward to working with you and all parliamentarians to find ways to do that.
