Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would like to add to my colleague's comments to say that the S and T challenges we are facing globally are faced by others as well. China, as Dr. Habib is saying, has a very discrete methodology and set of processes to process rare earths, but everybody else in the world is basically in the same game, trying to figure out the science behind the separation of rare earth elements.
CanmetMining labs are working in collaboration with universities and with industry, and it's very important to have a collaborative effort to tap into the pockets of knowledge that may exist throughout the country.
