Thank you, Ms. Riley.
Infrastructure is indeed an important issue. If we draw a parallel with the Commerce Resources Corp. project in Nunavik, everyone can agree that we're somewhat limited in terms of infrastructure at the 55th parallel.
I think that co-operation is really where things get complicated. A project such as the one undertaken by Commerce Resources Corp. can't single-handedly support all the infrastructure needed to develop northern Quebec. Everyone agrees that, whatever infrastructure is developed, it will benefit everyone.
Earlier, Mr. Simard brought up lithium projects in James Bay. I was involved in one of those projects a few years ago. Some projects benefit particularly from the North Road, which Mr. Simard is very familiar with. It's easy to get on the North Road, follow it down then find another route to go south. In contrast, other projects are further away. Every project lead is individually knocking on every single door of every level of government to ask for the same thing. We're asking the provincial and federal governments how we could find ways to build infrastructure that would benefit all parties and accelerate the integration of the project itself into the supply chain.
Then nothing happens. No one is really taking the lead to bring all the businesses together, to bring them to the same table. We have a territory that needs to be developed to meet critical mineral needs, and we know that this will create community vitality and develop the region's economy. No one is asking how we can bring everyone together to define this region together.
Everyone may well go and see the various levels of government, but we don't necessarily get an answer. There are often various programs, such as Ms. Riley's, but we as mineral developers do our in-depth studies to understand what the best scenario is for us. We still don't know the scenarios of others and who can take the ball and run with it.
