I'll answer that directly and say that it's both, and the reason is that we need a lot of this stuff.
We've talked a lot about dependency on foreign powers for these materials, and that's a real issue, but a longer-term issue is that actually the world is going to need a lot more of all this stuff. If we want people to be driving electric cars, for example, by 2035 or 2030, then we need to have the capacity to put these batteries together.
The reality is that as a country we should be supporting companies that are prospecting and developing hard rock. We should also be supporting companies that are developing innovative solutions around brines. They exist in different parts of our country, and that's the good news. Different regions of this country can be involved in this, and that's a great news story. This can create economic activity across the country.
One more thing I'd say is that if we think about the electric vehicle sector as being from mining all the way through to mobility and recycling, it's economically multiplying. If you have an OEM that's set up to build an EV, and that OEM sources materials within Canada, that means we're creating jobs throughout the supply chain and the value chain. That's great news.
To answer your question, it's both, and graphite and cobalt and manganese—and we can do it.
