Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question again is for the Minster of Finance and it is along the same lines. It has to do with the payroll tax. His department publicly stated that for every $1 million they spend in the area of tourism, it generates $30 million in tourism spending. I have gone out and tried to confirm these numbers and I do find the $30 million number as well, but I find it includes friends, visitors and relatives, not just tourists. Can the Minister confirm whether or not friends, visitors and relatives are included in this $30 million number? Thank you.
