Mr. Chairman, this graph on page 7 focuses only on the critical, not the total, rare earth. These are the materials forecast to be in supply shortage. The situation has been like that—a small shortage has led to an increase in market prices.
What Canada and other countries want to avoid is the demand continuing to increase and the supply decreasing, with the predictions of shortages, anticipated out of China, for example. Many countries are looking at ways to make sure that the supply also goes up and, hopefully, reaches the demand. This is projecting the future, which is very difficult to do. We do know that a supply shortage is anticipated around 2018, 2019, and many countries are looking at filling the gap.
