I completely agree with you, Mrs. Gill. Projects such as the one in Salmon Bay could easily be replicated seven times in various other regions of Basse‑Côte‑Nord, and I think that this is a low estimate. I do believe that we could develop farms on this scale in the area and attract tourists. I've even had these discussions with Ms. Buffitt, who said that we could develop this. It's simply a matter of subsidizing the start of the project. Once the start is ready, we would be set to go. We can support a sizable economy ourselves just by selling agricultural products that people need all over the world.
For example, I went to Harrington Harbour, where crab is currently processed. It's packed in crates. It goes from Harrington Harbour to Rimouski, then on to Boston. The next stop is Boston, Massachusetts. It isn't even delivered to Canada.
This is just one example. The world is asking for these products, and we have them in abundance. So we can forge our own path in this area.
