Absolutely, and you're right. I've heard that analogy used a number of times, that we do have two economies: the St. John's census metropolitan area, and the rest of the province. Yes, many of the interventions we undertake are quite different. Many of the challenges that both regions face are quite different.
In urban areas.... The St. John's CMA is largely the business, government, and retail hub of the province. Memorial University of Newfoundland's largest campus is located there. St. John's accounts for about 50% of the province's GDP. Most of the offshore supply and service companies are located there, as are the operators. So it's a different reality and a different environment from what many of the rural areas face, and the challenges that they have to deal with.
Rural Newfoundland on the other hand is pretty deeply rooted in industry, such as what I talked about previously, the fishing and mining sectors, and of course, tourism. Many of our larger industrial development projects happen in rural areas of the province. Voisey's Bay and Muskrat Falls are offshore fabrication projects as well. The fishery is clearly a sector that is primarily focused in rural areas of the province. Aquaculture is the same. Our interventions, our role, will differ when we deal with the realities and the challenges and opportunities that rural areas face versus areas like St. John's.
To answer your question, yes, we will adjust or we will tailor our interventions and our roles and responses specifically to the economic challenges and opportunities that are unique to rural areas of the province versus the St. John's area.
