Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning, I am finding this discussion very interesting. I am going to move in another direction that concerns my region. I come from eastern Quebec, more specifically from Rimouski. It is a rural region, like many regions in Quebec and in Canada. Over the last few years, with the economic, agricultural and forestry crises and the increase in energy and gas prices among other things, many farmers, forestry workers and small cooperatives have formed groups in several villages in my riding in order to look at new opportunities in agriculture and forestry. This was done with the intention of producing green energy, biofuels, etc.
As the representative from the Department of Natural Resources, are you aware of the developments that have taken place over the last few years in my area and perhaps elsewhere?
