Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Hello. It's a great day when there are two companies that have a significant impact on Sudbury here today that I get to talk to, so it feels like home week on the Hill. Thank you to Glencore and Vale for agreeing to be here today.
My first question is to Vale. In March of last year, Vale testified at the natural resources committee during their study on critical minerals and associated value chains. What I'd like to do now is hear more from you about how Canada can position itself as a key supplier of critical minerals globally but also how can we ensure supply domestically.
