Thank you for your question, Mr. Simard.
We do the processing in our aluminum smelters, because we manufacture high value-added products such as extrusion billets and rolling ingots. Unfortunately, in the industry, this type of activity must be carried out close to the customers. All our customers are located mainly in the American Midwest and around Toronto. The processing is done in these areas.
Take scandium, for example. It was created in Sorel-Tracy, but we turned it into a value-added product at the Dubuc plant in Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean. That's where we created the master alloy, a high value-added product sold on the market.
