As you said, you just posted at the end of August. I was there about a week later and you were already enthused about the response you'd had in the first week.
There's something to be said, from many of the witnesses we've seen in this committee, about lifestyle and about what we can do. I open this up to the others as well, and thank everyone for the presentations and for being here tonight. Some of it is how we treat people when they arrive at our doorsteps and in our communities and our businesses. Mr. Allen just indicated the work that he's done to try to attract and keep workers who have come to his shops.
You've done the same by the two acres of land for a home, basically. What an opportunity for people to get started. I'm not surprised that you got some responses, but I am surprised that you got 300,000 responses.
In your mind, how important is it? Perhaps you could elaborate on that. You indicated that you work with low wages. You offered off-grid living. You were very honest and upright with the kinds of winters we have and the Internet needs you have. Yet people are coming. Could you elaborate on how important that has been and how we can learn as a committee about being able to support that for other businesses as well?
