Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for Mr. Bruce.
I'm an MP from Sudbury. Critical minerals are very important to our region. We know that critical minerals present a significant opportunity for Canada.
If we focus on the minerals only without developing the infrastructure around it, like refining, processing and mining innovation, we'll have lost a significant portion of that economic opportunity. I found it interesting when you talked in your opening statement about how we need to ensure that the processing is being done here in Canada.
What does the government need to do to ensure that this occurs and that we build that chain here in Canada?
