I'll give you a concrete example. We are currently assisting a group of agricultural producers who are developing a completely new product. We're talking about the exploitation of an annual plant called reed canary grass that grows in abundance. It can be processed into pellets and used in that form as animal litter and even for heating. This is a very promising project since we're talking about local production, consumption and energy. The fact is that we need experts on the ground in order to provide these kinds of assistance services.
In that respect, I must honestly say that we really have our hands full. However, additional revenue could change matters, especially in view of the upcoming wave of business transfers. A form of cooperative is being considered, which we believe represents promising opportunities. In our province, the CCCM will soon be implementing a pilot project involving one or two large business owners who have no guaranteed succession plans. To go back to what could be added, I would say we should be better equipped to do this assistance work. RDÉE obviously supports our projects.
