I'll give a very clear answer to your first question, Mr. Généreux.
As we said, Canada, which is not the United States, will only allow a few investments of this kind. The other companies that have been calling want to invest in the Canadian ecosystem. That's why we decided on the contracts rather than the tax credits route. We choose those we are going to work with and we do it in a limited way; there are also several contractual conditions. You may have heard about these. We protect the interests of Canadians through a few highly targeted investments.
To answer your other question, I admit that it was based on information I had received from the intelligence services. We know that the Neo Lithium situation was special. When analyses are being done and decisions being made, I, as the minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, rely on intelligence received. When I decided to block the transactions of the three Chinese companies that wanted to make acquisitions, it was on the basis of the intelligence I received when the matter was presented to me.
