It is definitely accurate. Our manufacturing has declined, as has almost every Western country's manufacturing base, but Canada has a competitive advantage in raw materials production. We should work with our allies to figure out what part of the process we hand over. Is it materials or how processed or how refined they are so they could put them into their manufacturing base in the short term?
You can't produce anything if you don't have the raw materials. That is one area where Canada can shine and make sure that they are at a stage where we can hand them over to allies and their producers who can put them into materials.
