That's a smart approach. I'll give you a very practical example.
When I was in Washington, I met with my counterpart, and we were talking about the ecosystem. I'm doing that just as Minister Ng is doing. I said, "Madam Secretary, did you know there is only one cobalt refinery in North America?" There was a bit of silence in the room. I said, "Do you know where it is? It's in Cobalt, Ontario. If we want to do anything, you have to work with us, because it took 10 years to permit, and there's only one facility in the whole of North America to refine cobalt."
The good news is that we're looking at expanding that and building a new refinery. We're going to be producing north of 10% of the lithium that is needed in North America. We're working on graphite and class one nickel.
I think there is an understanding, but more important is that the manufacturer understands that. They understand that they have to be on this side of the border to succeed in the battery ecosystem of the future.
The announcement this morning looked at BASF. If you're looking at a German company that is doing its homework, we were competing with U.S. states, and the company decided to go to Bécancour, Quebec.
