We are trying to create leverage through our sports facilities. That is what is important to us. Often people have a tendency to say that an upgrade is an expense or a burden on taxpayers. And so we are trying to create financial leverage through that. We are trying to attract private investment through this project and trying to bring capital into the region. The idea is to generate business for enterprises in the surrounding areas.
Let's talk about tourism. We are located on the Trans-Canada axis. We are very well located. Our natural environment is very popular.
We have been working on this project for five or six years. People are ready. We want to see a project that is ecologically responsible, which means highlighting the use of wood, since we work in that sector. We want to create a technological showcase highlighting the use of engineered wood and new trends in insulation. We are leaders in eco-construction in the Lower St. Lawrence. We really want to create a showcase.
All of this is going to create jobs. It will be an extraordinary asset. The ultimate objective is to reduce the bill for taxpayers as much as possible, so that bringing things up to standard does not constitute a burden. Instead of that, we want to create an extraordinary leverage effect.
