Having seen Canada drop from 7th most visited country in 2002 to 18th in 2011, one can draw some lines.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3838041\" data-originallang=\"en\">One of the concerning things is that the largest market for tourists to Canada is visitors from the United States, but under the current administration, all tourism advertising in the U.S. market has been cancelled. The only product we are advertising in the United States is bitumen.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3838042\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like to ask him about the N\u00e1\u00e1ts\u2019ihch\u2019oh. He hinted at his concern about the smaller boundaries. We know that the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society and many other conservationists on the ground believe these smaller boundaries will not be adequate to protect the South Nahanni. I want to ask if he shares those concerns.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3838040\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, comme mon coll\u00e8gue des <a data-HoCid=\"170821\" href=\"/politicians/dennis-bevington/\" title=\"Dennis Bevington\">Territoires du Nord-Ouest</a>, je suis pr\u00e9occup\u00e9e par la situation du tourisme au Canada. En 2002, le Canada se classait au 7<sup>e</sup> rang des pays les plus visit\u00e9s, mais il avait chut\u00e9 au 18<sup>e</sup> rang en 2011. On peut en tirer certaines conclusions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3838041\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est inqui\u00e9tant de savoir que les \u00c9tats-Unis sont le principal march\u00e9 source de touristes pour le Canada, mais que, sous le gouvernement actuel, toute la publicit\u00e9 touristique aux \u00c9tats-Unis a \u00e9t\u00e9 annul\u00e9e. Le seul produit dont nous faisons la promotion aux \u00c9tats-Unis est le bitume.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3838042\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais interroger le d\u00e9put\u00e9 \u00e0 propos de la r\u00e9serve \u00e0 vocation de parc national N\u00e1\u00e1ts\u2019ihch\u2019oh. Il a fait allusion \u00e0 ses inqui\u00e9tudes en ce qui a trait aux plus petites limites. Nous savons que la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 pour la nature et les parcs du Canada et beaucoup d'autres agents de protection de la nature sur le terrain croient que ces limites plus petites ne permettront pas de prot\u00e9ger ad\u00e9quatement la rivi\u00e8re Nahanni Sud. Je voudrais demander \u00e0 mon coll\u00e8gue s'il partage ces pr\u00e9occupations.</p>"
