I think I'm suggesting that Canada and its partners and allies collaborate together to exploit the natural endowments we already have, such as here in Canada; share technology and investment dollars to invest in critical mineral supply chains here at home; work to supply each other; and be a competitive source of supplies of these critical minerals to do the industries and technologies that will be important to the energy transition as it proceeds over the next several decades. I'm not advocating in any way Chinese investment in Canada by state-owned enterprises. It's quite the opposite. I'm encouraging Canadians to develop their own supply chains in collaboration with partners and allies.
