We have specialists within the federal government, of course. I'm thinking in particular of those who work at the National Research Council Canada.
We're talking about a disruptive technology, a brand-new technology. You'll agree with me, Mr. Simard, that when you change a process after 100 years, there are certain steps to follow. Right now, we've moved from laboratories to tanks.
And yet, the federal government has allied itself with the biggest industry players in the world. I've visited representatives of this industry with the people who invented the technology, or at least put it into practice. In the field of research, there are many elements of innovation and development.
I also spoke with Mr. Pécresse and Rio Tinto's big boss, Mr. Jakob Stausholm. You don't have to take my word for it. Just look at the press releases issued by Apple or BMW. According to these industry players, as soon as BMW became a customer, the point of no return was reached.
The question at the moment is about production capacity, whether we're capable of producing more. When I'm asked this question, I always say that I'm the salesman, the one who acts for our workers. I go abroad and talk about it all the time. People tell me, however, that they need to be given time to produce the aluminum, because I sell more than they produce.
