That's great. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of the witnesses for being here today.
My first questions are for Mr. Billedeau of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Billedeau, I want to go back to a statement put out by the chamber in September 2021 expressing concern that there hasn't been enough talk about how our national security depends on critical minerals, which I fully agree with. Would you be able to expand on where you see the largest threats to our national security as a result of not having a plan around this?
