Mr. Speaker, I know it is late at night, but I can assure the hon. member that my head is out looking at these things. It is not in the sand, as she said.
Let me say that there is plenty of good news to report about tourism in Canada. The industry continues to grow, as I have stated. In 2013, tourism revenues in Canada increased by 3% to over $84 billion.
We also have a very talented marketing agency, which does a great job of attracting international tourists to Canada. The Canadian Tourism Commission continues to promote Canada as a premier tourist destination in priority markets around the world, some of which are showing impressive growth.
Canada has one of the strongest country brands in the world. Our government is committed to working with our provincial and territorial counterparts as well as with the tourism industry to ensure that Canada remains a top tourist destination.
