I think it's important, and probably the most important partner would be the U.S. They are our southern border neighbour, and we see a lot of interest from the U.S. to develop together all of those circular economies for critical and strategic metals.
We saw that the Department of Defense in the U.S. opened the door to Canadian companies to apply for the same funding of R and D that is open to U.S. companies. We still have not seen that from the Department of Energy in the U.S., which makes the majority of investments into this type of R and D. Hopefully the Canadian government can find a way to get the Canadian companies in there, because those companies work on exactly the same sources of material. The material that gets collected there can be recycled there or here, and vice versa.
Companies that work together have more flexibility by putting more resources together. If we are able to work only within the Canadian community, we are limited. But if we are able to work with Canadian research centres and American companies, which often have much more cash to invest in those new processes, that opens the door significantly. I think we are seeing that, but we should make more effort on this.
