You know, I just finished a conversation with the folks at Wyloo, who obviously successfully...or as it will be announced—it's a matter of public information—a considerable stake in the Ring of Fire. It's the billion-dollar question, not the million-dollar question. I spent most of my professional career living and working in isolated fly-in, fly-out communities. That connotation comes with some good and some bad. On the energy side, it likely means that the energy sources come from diesel. We have to stop that, Monsieur Lemire. I'm sure you share that view.
That gets me on my shoebox, if you will, talking about the legacy infrastructure and what governments can really do to contribute to some of these projects and to ensure that communities most proximal to these potentially world-class resource projects have the right legacy infrastructure to support them in a comprehensive way.
The corridor to prosperity that would run up the middle of northern Ontario, that's as vast and remote and isolated as any part of Canada, and that has a compelling need for a corridor there, could supply energy. It could supply a road for better access to health services and programs, economic benefits that move beyond responsible resource development and mining projects in their proximity, and of course broadband capacity. Without these things, these projects just become the kind of legacy that Canada needs to move out of the business of doing.
Some of it will continue to be necessary, particularly in the High Arctic, but even then, governments like our own back in the day had invested in certain critical infrastructure, particularly around highways when and where possible, to ensure that we had alternative corridors for transportation, energy sources and now broadband and the like to ensure that there is a comprehensive sensibility about what we're trying to accomplish here beyond the resource projects themselves.
Does that make sense?
