Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you. It's great to see you, Minister.
Minister, I'm disappointed that you chose not to be here in person today. I'll tell you that right now.
I have noticed, Minister, that as you've learned this portfolio, your narrative has changed from when you were the Minister of the Environment. I say that with great respect because I think that the learning you've done in this sector has been profound.
I'm going to ask you a question, because I'll follow along with my colleague where she led on the critical minerals strategy. You're a big advocate of critical minerals. Can you tell me what you think the critical minerals will contribute to the Canadian economy as a number in the next five years, per year?
