Mr. Robertson, you said in your last answer that we needed to make sure critical minerals weren't sent to the U.S. How would you describe our relationship with the U.S. in that area? It seems to be somewhat adversarial.
On one hand, the Canadian government signed an agreement with the U.S. government, under President Biden, to achieve a self-sufficient electric vehicle battery supply chain. On the other hand, the U.S. has policies such as the IRA and the previous infrastructure bill, which included an incentive for assembled vehicles. Luckily, changes were made to the incentive, so that it now applies to all vehicles manufactured in North America, not just in the U.S., as was the case previously.
How should we deal with our American partner? Should we deal with the U.S. as a partner first?
