Mr. Chair, that's a very interesting question. Canada will purchase finished goods that contain rare earth, so by saying “self-sustainable”, Canada will always need to rely on products that are manufactured elsewhere, to some extent. Some products are manufactured in Canada. Some cars are manufactured in Canada. The aeronautics industry is very strong in Canada. But some products that we use in our daily lives are imported, and they contain rare earth elements.
In some industries and in some manufacturing that is conducted in Canada, companies are purchasing pieces or parts or widgets that contain rare earth elements.
