Thank you.
I want to get Mr. Volpe into this.
Mr. Volpe, you had some really good testimony. I think it's probably some of the most pertinent when you look at the practical application of what we face here. As you mentioned, we've actually slipped to 10th in the world in auto manufacturing. I remember the days of being at number three. As well, we don't have the domestic decision-makers we used to. We don't even have many CEOs. We used to have Canadian CEOs for some of the companies that were here. Some of them were trained in Canada and later on became CEOs in the United States and other places.
I guess where our auto industry is going could be getting out of the traditional systems, as you mentioned, that are still very much dominant and having a greater strategy than just rip-and-ship, meaning having lithium and others as part of our positioning to get investment.
How important is it to have a policy to not just rip and ship these resources out to other automakers across the globe, let alone the United States? It could be Mexico. It could be Europe. It could be China—whatever. How important is it for us to have a solid domestic policy not to rip and ship?
