Good morning, Speaker. It’s great to see you in the chair.

Thanks for the question.

When we talk about what is happening down at Ontario Place, we talk about development, we talk about growth, we talk about opportunities. Those opportunities don’t come overnight. They have to be developed. Given Ontario Place has been sitting dormant for so long and there is still interest by industry to come down and transform Ontario Place into a destination not only for people within 30 or 40 miles but across Ontario and the United States—this is going to be a destination that is going to impact large, medium and small businesses that are part of tourism.

Tourism needs to continue to be supported, especially with what they’ve gone through over the last couple of years. They’re a strong, vibrant industry. They’re smart, and they’re making things happen. To do something like this for Ontario and for the rest of Canada and the people in the United States to come visit and have a destination like this is outstanding.
