I understand, but when you look at the numbers, there's a lot less aluminum processing going on in Quebec and Canada right now than there was in the past. The Midwest premium is one of the main reasons for this.
I'd now like to take you elsewhere, Minister. People who work in the aluminum transformation sector here at home, particularly at the STAS plant, have been advocating an idea for over 15 or 20 years, namely the creation of an aluminum observatory.
They believe that this could greatly help the Saguenay—Lac‑Saint‑Jean region and the aluminum sector. It would allow us to have objective and neutral data, as is the case in the forestry sector. Today, I can tell you how much it costs to produce 100 cubic metres of wood and how it's made, but I can't do the same for aluminum, unless I consult the index used in the United States, which is the Commodity Research Bureau Index—also known as the CRU index.
Would you be in favour of setting up an aluminum observatory?
