Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, so I mean, as I've said, I think, through the last round of questions, I certainly in general would be happy to see more uses of the parks and more tourism opportunities. The challenge is ensuring that the contractors who run the parks are available, firstly, and it may not -- that they are prepared to undertake whatever the asks are. And there then has to be sufficient occupancy and incoming revenue to make some business case for it. And it probably will not fully offset the costs to the department to keep the parks open. But if it could at least come close then we could get to a place of being able to propose or request the budget. So I understand that as for this coming season, say the Queen Elizabeth Park will be open until September 15th, and perhaps what we will do is look at what the rate of occupancy is with a view to determining if there's an opportunity to keep it open further based on the occupancy and the costs of doing so. Thank you, Madam Chair.
