Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Ms. Yedlin, you mentioned critical minerals. To my general understanding, we have deposits across various provinces in Canada, but you mentioned specifically Alberta and Saskatchewan. We've heard testimony over the course of a number of hearings here in Ottawa about the importance that critical minerals play and could play in terms of a negotiating position, bluntly, leverage when it comes to our negotiations and discussions with the United States. My concern is that in our current regulatory circumstance the prospect of critical mineral development is somewhat hollow.
I wonder if you have any views on Bill C-69 specifically and what it means for project development.
