As I said, there are huge opportunities for development.
In terms of economic benefits, we have 1,200 hectares of industrial land to be developed, which offers immense mining potential in the northern part of the region. We are already in talks with certain companies. That is no secret.
Among other possibilities, there is the phosphate industrial processing capacity. Companies want to build plants in our area regarding two phosphate projects. There are also projects in the lithium and copper sectors. Businesses also want to go make use of our facilities. Other processing sectors are located in the same area.
We are going to invest in infrastructure so that we are ready and in a better position than other countries to welcome these projects. However, we really want to encourage private sector investment by offering good infrastructure both in terms of transportation and in terms of industrial facilities.
Economic benefits will flow directly not only from future development at the Port of Saguenay, but also from impacts on the transportation chain. Our investments will be very significant and very strategic.
