Finance committee  Okay. That's awesome. I'll just continue from there. Prior to COVID-19, tourism was one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. We are here today, over a year into the pandemic, and the visitor economy is still in crisis. The tourism economy has lost over half a million jobs.

Finance committee  Mr. Chairman and esteemed members of the committee, I would like to thank you for inviting us here today to share with you the tourism industry's priorities for the upcoming budget.

Finance committee  Is this better?
