Thank you for the question. I'd like to combine it with some of the suggestions that Mr. Balsillie just made in terms of having a strategy.
Applied research doesn't happen in a vacuum. Institutions across Canada, whether they are government research labs or academic ones, have often operated in silos. I'm very happy to hear about BOREALIS and DISH. I think this will help create regional centres of excellence that hopefully can then be connected across the critical mineral spectrum and across the supply chain by having a strategy that links expertise.
These are multidisciplinary problems, whether they are for electrification or for defence production technologies. There are a lot of synergies between those knowledge bases and the capacity, but there need to be overarching strategy and guidance to ensure that quick pivots can be possible in these applied research centres, whether for deploying a decarbonization technology, for battery production, for surveillance or for another deployment.
