Mr. Speaker, thank you to the leader for the question. I got this feeling that the word “tourism” is a bad word. We’re talking about—now hang on for a second—tourism, which represents almost $36 billion in economic activity, just under 400,000 jobs and 82,000 business-related jobs and careers in tourism. Yet we talk about an opportunity, a destination—tourism is about finding a place to go, drawing people in, not just people in Ontario but the people across Canada and maybe into the United States. It’s driving tourism. A destination is important, whether it’s a spa, common areas, water parks, paddling, walking and being casual in an area where you can sit and be quiet—all these great things that tourists like. They want to come to. They want to come here. We’re making a world-class destination.

As they say, two cases are better than one—two business cases that suggest that this is a wonderful opportunity, opportunity that we’d like to think we want to explore for the people of Ontario.

But more importantly, again, back to that “tourism” word that everyone—or not everyone, just certain people don’t seem to like. We talk about building up opportunity in Ontario in jobs and careers, destinations, making an Ontario Place that people want to come to visit and stay maybe an extra day or two longer because the destination is so special, and the opportunity is an experience that those people and their families want to experience. That’s what tourism is about.

People in Ontario do a fabulous job. Those working in the industry are doing a better job because of COVID. They’re smarter, they are ready and they want people to come to Ontario. They want them to visit. They want them to stay. We want to welcome people—

Well, the new science centre will not have that much common space because it will be more efficient, more directed, more targeted to exhibits, and I believe that’s what the science centre is about: drawing people in, educating them, creating—dare I say it again—an experience. Don’t worry about the common area, worry about what they come to see. Those are the displays. Those are what’s out there for people to learn from—not hallways, exhibition space.
