We definitely see the role changing from where we traditionally have been with the forest industry and things like that. We've already adapted. We're now moving autos from our existing structure downtown in central Nanaimo that we repurposed. We've maintained those facilities, similar to Quebec. They're 60 years old and they're made of wood, but we keep maintaining those. We've created a good short-sea shipping business with that auto industry.
What we're looking at in the long term is the container business on the island, to move goods to and from there and across the country. We feel that when we look at it, you could call us an inland port on the ocean that allows the flexibility to hold and move. We have more industrial land available. We're creating logistics parks. We're joining partnerships with first nations up and down the rail corridor that can create business opportunities along that corridor for manufacturing and moving ahead.
The long-term vision is to complete that corridor from the south, where you are, to the north up Campbell River and out to Port Alberni to make that a wholly integrated system on the island that can move goods that need to be exported but also move imports across the country.
