Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Of course, we would need a road, if the federal government ever wants to help out with this. It would even be nice to have an interprovincial connection between Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador. I should point out that the ferry that currently makes the connection and goes to Blanc‑Sablon, in our area, is paid for by Newfoundland and Labrador. I'm not supposed to complain that Quebec doesn't pay for the ferry. In any event, this interprovincial connection doesn't exist.
I think that, as the warden, you're quite interested in development. We talked about the road, which would bring tourists to our area and would also entice people to come and live here.
In terms of development, you're also extremely interested in all aspects of mariculture or aquaculture. I would like to invite my colleagues to come to Rivière‑Saint‑Paul and Salmon Bay to see what Ms. Buffitt and her family are doing in our area.
I think that this type of development could provide support for our region. On the one hand, this would promote food sovereignty. On the other hand, this could encourage people to come to all parts of our region. That way, we could make a loop. We're talking about the road because it would really enable us to make a loop with Newfoundland and Labrador. From there, it would be possible to go on to Gaspésie or the Maritimes.
Mr. Jones, I'll let you have the rest of my time.
