We should define it and prioritize the economic value of minerals. I think gold is extremely important to the Canadian economy, even though it's not a critical mineral.
In the context of defence spending and the defence industrial supply chain, it's clear to me that we should be focusing on things we would need if we had to quickly ramp up the defence supply chain for NATO. Usually, what you need for military applications is a very small portion of the market. You don't need the global nickel supply chain or the global copper supply chain. You need a small portion of that to feed your defence supply chain.
In terms of defence spending, what you could classify as NATO spending to get to the 5%.... Beyond the minerals on the NATO mineral list and the things China has put export restrictions on, let's make sure we have some minimum capability in processing and using those things.
