I would like to add something, if I may.
In the Saint-Amable region, land is worth about $7,000 to $8,000 an arpent. One would think that if people pay $7,000 to $8,000 an arpent, that it would be viable. We created AMA-Terre to be more united. But being “united” doesn’t mean much when no money is coming in.
I don’t have any answers to these questions. When I asked the person who called me what she was doing today, she told me she was having a drink, because she learned that another one of her fields tested positive. Another told me not to bother anymore, because it was pointless. That’s the reality that Saint-Amable is facing.
Will we wait another two, three months? Will we wait until tragedy strikes Saint-Amable? If your pay cheque was cut for three months and you had to pay a $350,000 mortgage, you can be sure that someone would be up in arms. That’s what we’re currently going through in Saint-Amable. We can’t do anything, but we still have to pay our rent. How are we supposed to do it?
Please find an answer, because I haven’t found any yet.
Thank you very much.
