For what it's worth, as the senior civil servant at the Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, I must say I'm feeling quite bullish about Canada's prospects. There's intense work going on now with the OEMs, with the parts sector, with all of the various players in the battery supply chain, as I described earlier. Obviously the proof will be in the results, but I think we have real cause for optimism. There are advanced discussions going on in a whole variety of areas, and I'm very hopeful that we'll see some results.
