You don't have a crystal ball, but it does make things cheaper.
President and Chief Executive Officer, Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association
It does help bring costs down. Particularly as there's this decoupling under way from China, which controls the supply chain, we presumably will see more of that activity here in North America.

Is having the mines located in Ontario and Quebec also advantageous?
President and Chief Executive Officer, Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I think it is a generational opportunity for Canada. This is the biggest natural resource opportunity we have, because we have all of these minerals. Yes, this is hugely important.
