I want to champion Chantiers Chibougamau. Like my partner today, they are delivering structures all across America. They're a very good company. They continue to work on research and development to continue to help us. They're in the north. That's not very close, as you said. They're in Chibougamau, which is around 650 kilometres from Montreal. No matter, they're working all across America and they're doing a very good job of that. They will continue to develop this market too.
Bioenergy is very important in the region too, but we are often far from the markets. That's one of our problems. It's very important to have the right infrastructure to export too. Because of Quebec's small population of eight million, we can't get all the market we have. We have to export some of it. That's why ports are very important to develop.
We have to continue to try to promote this. I think we also need a government strategy that recognizes that.
If for transit we accept to pay $400 to $500 to not produce a tonne of GHG, we have to respect the fact that in the forest industry, that will cost a lot less if we use the forest products. I'm not telling you that transit is not important. There are two things we have to do. We compare numbers to not produce GHG. For me it's easier to see that we can have results in the forest industry to help to pay for the rest. That's two different things.
The comparative cost of avoiding the emission of a ton of greenhouse gas to the cost of capturing and storing carbon is a very important question. In my opinion, using forest products while accomplishing necessary public transit projects is a promising solution.
