Thank you very much.
I'd like to cite the example of the Marmen plant, which is located in the Matane RCM. I went there a few months ago and I spoke to the mayor. She told me that, for the first time, the population had stopped declining. We see that property values have started to move back up because the Marmen plant and that of Composites VCI have set up in the region. Soon the ENERCON and REpower plants will be established there as well.
There are windmills everywhere, but if you ask people from the region if they consider them as visual pollution, they say that's not at all the case. For them, they represent job creation and hope for their region. Everywhere in public surveys, we see that the acceptance rate of wind systems is at its highest. In fact, 90% of people accept wind systems and want to have them in their area. Once they are installed, the acceptance rate even reaches 95%. My uncle worked on the roads leading to one windmill, and my brother works for the business that manufactures the rotor blades. People immediately see the economic benefits. When people see the windmills, see that they make very little noise and are not a very great esthetic nuisance, their concerns are allayed.
