Thank you.
I'm going to turn now to Monsieur Simard.
It's a similar question in that in the previous round of witnesses we talked to Mr. Allan from AddÉnergie in Quebec about charging stations. We talked a bit about that value chain, the supply chain of the critical minerals and metals we need to electrify the energy systems in North America.
I'm wondering how much you would put on a strategy to create a North American critical metal and mineral supply chain so that we could make every component for batteries, electric motors and all those things.
He was using aluminum in his charging stations, for instance. Is that a strategy we could use to go to the United States and say that we have to take those value chains away from China—they dominate them now—and use our aluminum, copper, cobalt, lithium and graphite in a North American sense and really create a market within the continent? That would help both countries in this transition to a cleaner future.
