Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
First of all, the EV mandate, the sales mandate that will apply in Canada, would be sales of EVs by 2035. That's the horizon with respect to the vehicle side.
The critical minerals strategy that we announced in December is intended to be a full-spectrum strategy. It is to apply to not only the extraction but also the processing and the various applications of these minerals. That is very much front and centre in the way that we frame the strategy, not only because of the domestic opportunities that exist with respect to critical minerals in Canada, which you mentioned and the minister mentioned, but also because of some of the geopolitical aspects of this, which create a particular opportunity for Canada as we work closely with allies.
This is one of the critical areas of conversations we have with some of our closest friends, including through the G7.
