Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for joining us today.
I'm coming to you from Sudbury. Before I get to my folks at Vale, who are in my backyard, just down the street here from me, I'd like to talk to Mr. Bahar from BMO very quickly.
In your presentation you talk a lot about supplier of choice. When you talk about that you're talking about the exploration side and the extraction side, that Canada can become that by our choice in that sense.
One thing that we're trying to explore in this committee is how we can make sure that the whole value-added chain is kept in Canada. That's always a tough part, because in Canada we usually dig our minerals. We explore, extract, and process, sometimes, and then they usually leave the country. They are input somewhere else, manufactured, and then we'll buy that back from here.
From an investment point of view, what is BMO concerned about?
Do you have some quick thoughts on how we can achieve that in Canada to make sure that the value-added chain is done inside Canada?
