Minister, I'm always pleased when you come to committee because I get to talk about critical minerals—something very important to Sudbury and me.
This committee undertook a study on the nexus between critical minerals and defence. Witness after witness told us that without critical minerals, we don't have security and we don't have defence. The defence industrial strategy certainly identifies that.
Can you tell us how critical minerals are being factored into defence planning, particularly as they apply to supply risks and long-term needs?
