Here are a few facts for your information. Canada's percentage of mineral exploration spending has been falling for the last half a dozen years. Australia has taken up a good chunk of that. It's also going to Latin America. Last year Australia had record levels of gold production and of exports. Three new lithium mines have come on stream. A nickel sulphate plant is about to go forward. A major copper mine has started production, I think. This is at the very early stages of the rebound in commodity prices and you look at Canada and you don't see that. It's not coming here.
