I understand from talking to people in the mining companies that supply is not an issue. I don't think that's the real issue. What we need to do is make sure that the mining companies are well funded so that they can develop their products. Right now, even if they wanted to meet all the demand for Canadian products, this market would not be big enough. So it is still necessary to export.
At the moment, I'm not worried about the supply of minerals. There just needs to be more demand so that we can develop products and keep our minerals here.
That being said, we must absolutely keep them. From our perspective as Canadian companies, that's a certainty.
