It would have been brought up here to be debated on. If it was, Mr. Speaker, they would have included former employees of the hosp itality field when they interviewed people to find out why people are not moving to that. But no, they interviewed employers only. Why would they do that? And then, Mr. Speaker, to add insult to …

The Honourable Member does have a legitimate point on what is considered a “tourism event ” because this particular Act will now allow an event to take place in a National Park which is something the occasion al licence did not do .

Thank you, Madam Chai rman, and I appreciate the Hono urable A ttorney General’s response. But I did query about the 46 hours of non-stop drinking and he did not give a reply. If he would wish to give a reply, I would like to hear that.
