I wouldn't say that were lagging behind, but it's important to realize that it is a race. We have advantages that many countries do not in terms of battery production because we have all the minerals required and strong businesses, refineries and foundries. Other countries do not.
However, a strategy is needed and rapid action is required. I believe that Quebec is well ahead of all of Canada's other provinces and territories. Quebec has a strategy and is being very dynamic. I would suggest that the rest of Canada do the same.
I'm optimistic. I think that the federal government is going to take concrete action soon, but that remains to be seen. However, something needs to be done quickly.
