Mr. Chairman, speaking with respect to a tourism strategy in general, given that the Minister has chosen to refer to other supporters, I could tell the Minister that I actually golfed with the main operator who brings in 10,000 Japanese tourists and he told me very clearly that he would not support this tax unless there was a clear strategy.

Mr. Chairman, I could also say that the Minister already stated this morning that a lot of the Non-Renewable Resource Strategy was lifted from the Economic Panel Strategies. So that is three years of ground work that our government has borrowed and I think it is good to borrow good ideas, but I do not think that it is being totally forthright when he says that he was able to come up with the Non-Renewable Resource Development Strategy in two months.

Mr. Chairman I just want to state that this is something that has to be taken seriously. This place is in need of a really good strategy. It never fails to amaze me when I talk to tourism operators, how everyone has a different ideal about what we need. In order to bring all the voices together, we have to give it the time and resources necessary, and not ram it through by way of a tax measure. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
