I know, Mr. Perkins, that you would have read the federal budget very carefully. I know you're a man who likes to study documents carefully. You would have seen that we have even created a group to expedite the permitting.
However, you don't need to take it from me. Take it from the CEO of Rio Tinto. Investing billions of dollars to make sure that we provide scale, when it comes to critical minerals, is the best message we can send. It's a big vote of confidence. By the way, the investment that Rio Tinto proposes to make in Canada is the largest in the history of Rio Tinto since they bought Alcan, which Monsieur Martel will know well because he has a plant in his riding. I used to have one in my riding.
I just met with the CEO of Teck. Just to comfort you, the CEO of Teck said that, when they did their transaction, the cash balance they have on their balance sheet is to go to just the critical minerals.
