You're right. The biggest challenge is always finding the entry point to set those good ideas in motion. Keep in mind, this was something the federal government wanted to do in 1982. The federal leadership was already there. It just takes some renewed leadership. What's more, the project has the support of the towns, the regional county municipalities and the provincial government.
I think the government needs to be more open to these types of ideas, to be bold and to encourage innovation. In many cases, overly restrictive program requirements prevent us from including innovative projects. That's the biggest challenge to proposing this type of project or getting it back on track.
