We'll give you a better seat.
Thanks to the witnesses for all their time and all the work they do in the departments every day. I'm extremely grateful. All of us are.
Ms. Lavoie, I'll start with you.
We've heard a lot today about the critical minerals strategy and the importance of critical minerals in all kinds of things, from electric vehicle batteries to defence and telecommunications. The list is long. The demands are great. As we progress into this future, we have to figure out ways to mitigate the pressure on extraction and all the geopolitical, environmental and social complications that come with that. We have to really turn to recycling and using what we have out of the ground already.
I just wonder if you could provide to us what you know of the programs. Which programs are in place now in Canada? What are we doing in Canada right now to extract critical minerals from e-waste and then reuse them?
