Critical minerals, obviously, are the building blocks for the decarbonization of the transportation sector. You need them to build batteries, and you need those to build electric vehicle plants, but they're also critical for photovoltaics, wind turbines and a range of other things.
It is important that we accelerate the work to develop new mines. It is also important that we invest in the development of processing technologies so that the world is not so dependent on China.
Part of the critical minerals strategy was $1.5 billion in the critical minerals infrastructure fund, which is intended to support things like transmission lines and roads into regions where you could foresee the development of multiple different mines, ensuring that you're enabling the rapid development of these facilities.
As folks know, most of these mines exist in rural and remote areas. They create jobs and economic opportunity for people who live in some of these communities, as well as many of the first nations who live in these areas. It is a really important economic opportunity that will dramatically impact rural and remote areas.
