Historically, no. We've seen our reserves for certain critical minerals decline by as much as 97% over the last 25 years. The exploration into base metals—which are largely what critical minerals are—has not been there for the past 25 to 30 years. We've built more gold mines, which is great because gold is very valuable these days, but we haven't been building critical mineral properties. We need to turn that around. It has compromised, as well, our downstream processing industry. We've closed seven smelters and refineries in the last 10 years. Why? It's because they don't have domestic feed. We definitely need to turn this around.
I am increasingly encouraged by the steps being taken in Bill C-39, which is before Parliament. There are additional measures in there, plus the things I mentioned earlier. We're starting to see improvements at Fisheries and Oceans Canada, which has always been a problem department when it comes to timeliness of decisions, at Transport Canada and, as I mentioned earlier, through the Impact Assessment Act.
