The entire nature of a seasonal business is just that. I think communities welcome, benefit, and appreciate that business. I think there's generally a very good rapport between seasonal business operators and the community because of the interdependence of their activities.
That said, in terms of cost considerations, the agency currently issues licences on the basis of scope of operation. And that's for all of Canada. They do not distinguish whether an operator is only travelling a very short distance between two points or long distances between two points. When we introduce a component, as is proposed here, that has a population measure, it introduces a new element. That isn't something the agency tracks. That isn't currently a part of what's tagged as part of issuing the licence. Therefore, that requirement imposes an additional tagging requirement, tracking requirement, and ensuring compliance.
It also introduces a certain amount of ambiguity for the seasonal operators, who may question whether in fact they fit within the 10,000 criteria. To be on the safe side, they may choose to go through the painful process of seeking an exemption nevertheless. It introduces ambiguity. And with that ambiguity, there's additional cost. There's a cost to the agency, but there's also a cost to the operator.
