I'm glad that you asked me that question. Mr. Ste‑Marie also talked about this earlier.
Quebec and Ontario have a connection in this area. The Quebec government has made significant investments in the battery industry. Unfortunately, some of these investments haven't turned out well for the Quebec government. This hasn't affected us much at the federal level, because we've always tied our subsidies to battery production and sales.
Industrial strategy requires a long‑term vision, according to my colleagues and government officials. I'm involved at the political level. It requires a vision and the ability to weather political storms, as we're experiencing now. That's our vision, and we'll continue to act accordingly. In short, we'll move forward and continue to make the necessary investments.
