Resource Committee — Department of Tourism, Culture and Recreation has, certainly as the name implies, three pillars, three lines of business. I will start first of all with Tourism. Our tourism industry is doing relatively well in the marketplace. While other provinces, especially the Atlantic Provinces, have been experiencing declines, we have experienced overall increases. I would like to provide just a snapshot of our performance over the last year and indicate with statistics how we have had some great successes. Non-resident visitors are up to 494,400; that represents an increase of approximately 5 per cent over the previous year. With regard to related revenues to these non-resident visitors, it is $365 million. Again, that is an increase of 8 per cent over the 2005 levels. Over the same period, the convention market, Destination St. John's reports there was a 9 per cent increase in the number of conventions and an increase of 13 per cent with regard to delegates. Cruise Newfoundland & Labrador, there were 105 port calls for the 2006 season, an increase of eight port calls over the 2005, and passenger visitors were down approximately 5 per cent. To capitalize and maintain this growth, we are implementing a product development strategy. We have launched a brand new Web site, and we are in the process of developing a new tourism plan. The tourism plan and the vision is being developed certainly in consultation with the industry. This industry is vibrant, it is enthusiastic, and certainly moving forward. You will note that there has been an increase of $1 million for our marketing in Budget 2007-2008, essential to the department expanding its marketing campaigns and driving further visitation to the Province. Culture, our second pillar, a very busy first year in implementing the cultural plan. We have strengthened our support for the Arts Council, enabling them to increase grants and introduce new programs. We have established the status of the artists working g2002-07-05—

Public Accounts Committee — Department of Finance or to anybody to look at a lower interest rate for this type of loan? Given our new fiscal position in the Province, bond ratings and things like that, we should be at the absolute lowest possible rate for almost $2 million in debt you are carrying. MR. PIKE: While I cannot quote you the interest rate, I do know that it is low, because I remember when I did see it a year or so ago I would have liked to have had it for myself. MR. MITCHELMORE: Has a request been made to government for any type of debt relief, or are you looking at you get a $400,000 subsidy. Are you looking at seeing if that can go away anytime soon or are you going to be continuously reliant on the $400,000 of subsidy from the government, and are you looking for an increase? MR. PIKE: Just to answer your first question earlier. The debt at the end of 2011 was $1,889,000. At the end of the last fiscal year it was $1,884,000. It had gone down by $5,000. I think the positive thing there is that we have committed to ourselves to hold the line on that debt and we are successful in doing that. As for any formal requests, no; my understanding is that interest rate is extremely low and I do not know that there is much room for improvement on it. WITNESS: If I can add; yes, we have looked through what we have here and we believe it is around prime, the interest rate. MR. MITCHELMORE: Okay. I have some concerns then about the two snowmobiles that were purchased costing $22,469, financed over a three-year period at a rate 6.59 per cent interest, costing your corporation over $10,000 in interest. Wouldn't it have made sense to just carry the additional debt load? Would it have been cheaper to look at other financing means, because that is a higher interest rate? MR. PIKE: I think the snowmobiles in question were not purchased, I believe they were leased. Leasing equipment for an operation like Marble, for some things, still makes sense when you look at it, espec2012-08-29—
