I hope it will be noted in our report.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3345538\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would like to talk about another major issue and find out if it is also affected. The question is more for Mr. Hamilton.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3345539\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Currently, about five million Canadians go to the United States every year to take a flight because of tariffs. Canada is one of two countries where these tariffs are the highest in the world. Our airports pay land rents, unlike the Americans who receive subsidies.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3345540\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In real terms, does this make a difference for the travel agencies in my neighbourhood? Does it have a significant impact on your sales figures?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3345537\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Merci. C'est tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressant. J'esp\u00e8re que ce sera not\u00e9 dans nos rapports. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3345538\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'aimerais parler d'un autre grand dossier et savoir s'il est touch\u00e9 \u00e9galement. Il concerne davantage M. Hamilton.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3345539\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Il y a maintenant, grosso modo, cinq millions de Canadiens par ann\u00e9e qui vont prendre l'avion aux \u00c9tats-Unis \u00e0 cause des tarifs. Le Canada est l'un des deux pays o\u00f9 ces tarifs sont les plus \u00e9lev\u00e9s au monde. Nos a\u00e9roports paient des loyers fonciers, contrairement aux Am\u00e9ricains qui re\u00e7oivent des subventions \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3345540\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Est-ce que concr\u00e8tement, pour les agences de voyage qui sont \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 de chez moi, cela fait une diff\u00e9rence? Est-ce que, pour vous, cela a un impact important sur votre chiffre d'affaires?</p>"
