Thank you, Mr. Lloyd.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First, let me congratulate all the witnesses here who are remediating previous mining tailings, obviously getting value from where we didn't see value before.
I'll go right to Ms. Lappin here.
Ms. Lappin, thanks for adding more value to the bounty that we're making out of the oil-soaked land up in northern Alberta with some more lithium there. I know you came up with some solutions there as to how we can provide more financial support to the battery mining industry. Can you contrast that—if you could, please—with Nemaska Lithium, which is one in Quebec where all kinds of federal and provincial government money and all kinds of super flow-through were expended over the last decade, all to be worth, in the end, nothing? Now the Quebec government is going to reinvest $600 million in order to try to keep it alive. All kinds of government support goes into these, and often it doesn't get them over the line as far as integrating the value chain is concerned.
How do you think the proposals you're coming up with are going to provide a different result?
