Yes, I have examples. In northern British Columbia, there are difficulties. There are also difficulties in Nova Scotia, in the region of Cape Breton. In fact, I believe a member of Parliament has already spoken out on this subject in the House of Commons when the debate was being held. In northern Ontario, and northern Manitoba, there are economic problems. Therefore, this is a proposal that would not just apply in Quebec alone, but many provinces would be able to benefit. Of course, in some provinces, things are going very well: we just need to think of Alberta. I do not believe the province of Alberta would benefit from such a program, but this remains to be seen. Indeed, other regions, other provinces than Quebec could benefit from such a program.
