Thank you for finding one of my points of interest. It's great to hear that.
Canada is experiencing supply disruptions right now. I think that to have an effective critical minerals strategy, we need to recognize that the usage and requirements for critical minerals in our energy production and manufacturing operations are are only going to go up in the years ahead. In that regard, to limit short-term supply chain disruptions, there exists an opportunity here to study the use of stockpiling. To do so, I think there's an opportunity for the government to partner with industry and other stakeholders to determine mineral input requirements to different critical pieces of infrastructure across the country and critical pieces of our economy and determine appropriate levels of reserves and minerals that have to be stockpiled.
That would require a lot of consultation, but I think the benefits of doing so are all too clear at the current time.
