Our recovery plan in Kenora is an economic development plan. We're attempting to increase our assessment tax base to bring some new people into the area. It's not totally forestry related, but the amount of money that is being talked about over three years is likely minimal, as far as we're concerned in Kenora. I know of little or no movement in Kenora to get any money out of this fund. I don't think people really know what it's all about, even the people in the industry.
If you took our loss in Kenora of 550 jobs, which is about $16 million annually, and transferred that to Toronto, their loss in the GTA would likely be in the area of $1.2 billion. There would be a lot of activity if a similar disaster happened in the GTA.
The fact that we're in a self-adjustment area in northwestern Ontario--and by that I mean that the federal government forgets about us and lets us adjust to whatever the water level is in the area--means that virtually nothing is happening from the federal government that's going to assist us. You likely would agree that we're considered a self-adjustment area in northwestern Ontario.
We are optimistic people in Kenora. We're not waiting for all these things to happen, but we're worried about the forest industry, because we can't turn our back on it. We are looking to other economic development activities in our area.
I don't know if that answers you, Ken, but that's our take on it.
