Certainly, it is not intended to do so. Everything we do is designed to facilitate tourism but not at the expense of safety or search and rescue operations. If we find that it is too onerous or that it creates complications for tourism or the tourism industry, we can certainly look at it again. I am happy to undertake to do this. When it comes to all of these things, whether it be people bringing animals into the State, vehicles in the State or anything else, we have to balance our desire to facilitate business and tourism with the need to protect the public and ensure safety.
