Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is to the Tourism Industry Association of Canada and the National Airline Council of Canada.
As Ms. Brown mentioned, a lot of passengers are infiltrating into the U.S. economy right now. I think it's just because of our “not open skies” policy. We can improve that if we have input from you on the economic perspective.
Look at the Singapore example in Vancouver. They had to leave because we don't have open skies. Look at the UAE conflict with Emirates. If we do not let them in, we lose millions of dollars. It has created a lot of inconvenience to many passengers who want to travel. Would you also suggest something about that?
You're concerned about the economic downturn in the tourism industry, so could you comment on that issue?
