I'll go first.
We have seven farms—we call them farms in Quebec—most of which are in smaller towns. The largest one is in Sherbrooke. In Sherbrooke we have three facilities. We have, as I mentioned, over 100 employees working in these facilities. Sherbrooke is the lion's share. We have co-operations with the schools for education, for helping students come out of the schools and internships to get jobs with us. We're really getting into the ecosystem, if you will. They want to come to work for us. We're a coveted job for many millennials, as was mentioned here earlier. If you look at LinkedIn, you'll see there are close to 400 people looking for jobs in our industry across the country right now.
Have we paid taxes? Yes. We pay GST. A year ago when we were profitable—well profitable, because bitcoin prices were up—we paid cash taxes. We have been an active contributor to the economy.
We have contracts with Hydro-Québec. We have contracts with some of the regional municipalities, and when we pay them, those revenues go into the local municipalities and help balance the budget and help operate the grids in those areas, and we have heard anecdotally that it's helped to balance their budgets so that they don't have to raise local property taxes.
We give, and we hear that it benefits the social programs in those areas. We regularly meet with the towns and the mayors and councils and exchange ideas. We've talked to some of the towns about getting involved in some of the CEGEP programs.
We have a lot of involvement throughout, and if we are given support from the banks, from capital, and can move into areas in which we can get good electricity contracts where we can benefit the grid and get benefit from lower-cost power, then we can do a lot more. I'm really excited about that.
