Aluminum is very critical in EV's for many direct and indirect reasons. For direct reasons, there are a lot of new innovations in energy storage. Companies are asking, “What if we replace some of the major minerals with aluminum?” Is that a reliable, dense enough source to be able to build batteries that have it as one of their main ingredients? If we do that, Quebec is a winner and Canada is a winner.
On the other end, as the member beside me talked about, EVs and all cars are getting a little bigger. They're getting a little bigger because safety requirements require them to, but they have to get lighter. The best way to get lighter, with structural integrity and without having to reinvent the wheel, is with aluminum. I suspect that the USMCA renegotiations are going to bring the Americans to say—and maybe we should say—that, by the way, we require 70% of core parts to be steel, and we require that steel to be sourced locally. I think that we're going to have that conversation about aluminum, and we should.
