Thank you, Mr. Chair. As the Minister has already noted, we did a series of engagements with stakeholders from municipalities, from tourist accommodation locations, as well as the Chamber of Commerce, the Tourism Association.

We received input from all of them on what types of consideration should go into the bill, as well as looking at what other jurisdictions have put in the bill in terms of exemptions, and we tried to strike a balance of that across all of the different feedback that we received. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
