Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I've long believed that we need a national auto strategy like many other countries have.
Mr. La Salle, I would like to go back to the original part of your testimony on the increase of prices with regard to not only lithium but also other components. Can you detail that a little bit more? When did you really see a surge take place? I know this is speculative, but do you anticipate that there will be sustainability with that in the years to come? That's going to be really important, I think, for the investment. Could you perhaps shed a little more light on that, please?
