Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, there is a reduction in a couple of areas. It would be the two main areas; the annual renewal can be streamlined where there isn't a change in the provision of service. That is much improved now we think and this is something that certainly the industry as a whole is embracing. The other area is in duplication, Mr. Chairman. There is more than one licence required now in a number of cases. So we are making sure that that would only be one licence. As you can see, we are now talking about guided activities as opposed to trying to get out there and have hotels and all these other things regulated by this tourism licence when we don't think they need to be. They follow business codes and other things like this. There is no need for us to go and do this again. I want to clarify again, earlier I mentioned it's in the current bill. When I am talking about time frames, it will be extended to the new bill. If I gave the impression that it was in the legislation, I apologize. It is in regulations currently and will be in the new regulations as well. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
