I am quite familiar with the situation your region experienced.
Some continued their activities, but on a smaller scale, or decided to grow other products, while others retired from the industry. If I'm not mistaken, an announcement was made in the past few months.
There will be another company that will carry on, but on a smaller scale.
It's a combination of things, but certainly It's very much an impact on the area. As you've said, there are all the ripple effects. You don't have the summer students. You don't have the additional revenue going into the community from all the spinoff industries. It's a combination of things.
Sadly, we've seen such a loss in our processing capacity, whether it's in Quebec and Ontario or in other parts of the country. That again is a concern. That's technology and investment that are going elsewhere, and certainly that's not what we need or want.
