Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much to all the witnesses for being here.
My first questions are for Dr. Lilly.
We have heard concerns raised now from a U.S. congressman on the Neo Lithium purchase. You referenced this purchase in your testimony today. There was an article today where Congressman Mike Waltz raised questions about whether Canada had even informed the Biden administration about the sale.
Can you touch on the importance of Canada needing to communicate and collaborate with our allies when it comes to critical minerals and company acquisitions around that?
