The REM project is really important.

The Government of Quebec is very proud of the REM project, in which the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec has invested $3 billion. So it's an investment by both the Quebec government and by institutional investors.

We'll talk about that project. It's the biggest transit project in Quebec in over 50 years; 680,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases will be reduced over 25 years and there'll be 34,000 jobs. These are really important projects, and the bank is advancing on a whole range of projects.
