Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
It's an honour and a pleasure to be here this afternoon with you all.
It's a beautiful day here in Essex and it would be a great day to take a walk in the park—a walk in a park. To the committee, it's pretty unique. This is a very unique opportunity for the folks of Essex. I've said it before and I'll say it again. We are somewhat landlocked in Windsor-Essex, in that we're surrounded by three bodies of water. I've spoken extensively with Mayor Dilkens, the mayor of Windsor; Mayor Bondy, the mayor of LaSalle; and Mr. Watson, the previous member of Parliament. We've done our due diligence. Everybody says this is a fantastic thing to do.
I know I only have five minutes and I just used up one minute.
Mr. Masse, first and foremost, congratulations, sir. I think this is going to be great for both of our communities.
With regard to our farming industry, it's gobbled up a lot of land and I'm proud of that because we need our farming industry to feed Canadians. We need the industry to pay the bills. However, there are not a lot of opportunities to get outdoors for mental health. Can you just expand a little bit as to what this will do for the residents of LaSalle and west Windsor, and quite frankly across the county?
