I think the good news about infrastructure projects—and this speaks to a comment that was made earlier—is that they happen in physical places across our country, in big cities, small towns, and rural and remote communities. Most of the economic value accrues in those places.
As we heard earlier in this session, the jobs that will be created in the local community, both in the construction and operation of this plant, are significant. They're part of what the Infrastructure Bank does for our country by helping to build local economies. We're really proud of that.
We measure that across all of our investments. We estimate that the total job creation, just to give you a sense of the scale of this, of the 108 projects we're investing in, is over 300,000 jobs in total across Canada. As I said, that's in communities big and small. It's in first nations and Inuit and Métis communities. It's in large cities and small towns. It's in northern Ontario, where I'm from, and Nova Scotia, where you're from.
