Mr. Martel, I hope I can convince you that we are the best thing since the invention of sliced bread. In the case of the GNL Québec project, it seems to me that social licence was quite strong in the region. The problem lay with transporting the product. We certainly felt it when it came to factors that could lead to further degradation of the planet. Public pressure has increased, which has led us to this situation.
Geopolitics has changed, and visions for economic development have also changed enormously. We must remember that we are in a trade war. When there is a war, you have to respond to it. The project we're proposing is a deepwater port, not a lake area. We need only look at what's happening with the St. Lawrence River these days, where marine transportation costs are increasing because of fairly significant drops in water levels. We are suggesting a deepwater port, and the public supports our project. In addition, there are existing routes and rail lines. Now we have to complete this project, which, in my opinion, is necessary not only for our territory's economy, but also for Canada's.
