Good afternoon. Thank you for your question.
I'll just say this: for the sake of consistency. To successfully transition to a green economy and clean energy, many things are needed. One of the most important things is critical and strategic minerals. We must therefore view them as part of the same continuum, the same value chain.
If we provide incentives for technologies that need critical and strategic minerals, we should provide the same incentives for producing them—especially since here in Quebec and in Canada in general, we have reserves of these minerals.
So, for the sake of consistency, we do not understand why this same incentive is not in place.
