I agree. It's really important to always view U.S. diplomacy and international relationships through a security lens, because that's how a lot of foreign policy is dictated. That's where things like the Defense Production Act are so important. We can show the Americans that we are a trusted, secure supplier in this pivot as they try to onshore more of this manufacturing and things like critical minerals and CHIPS. We've seen the CHIPS act pass. Canada does have a role there, and we're recognized in the DPA as a domestic source. No other country is. I think we really need to double down on that and show them that we are a reliable, trusted partner and can play a key part in this supply chain transformation.
