I'll share with you that it's China Minmetals, which is a Chinese state-owned company. They've decided to shutter it. Now we don't produce this.
How do we protect Canadian resources that are being controlled and leveraged against us? We're saying, hey, we want to leverage these critical minerals. We have this critical mineral, but we don't produce any. We've let a foreign state company shutter our operations. The government hasn't taken any steps so far, which is a bit embarrassing.
Going forward, what steps are we going to take to protect this? I'm using this as one example of a critical mineral. It sounds like a complete failure to me. What are we going to do? How are we going to fix it?
