I would address that question first by noting that we have a number of advanced projects with the ability to produce lithium that we're tracking, monitoring and supporting. I'm happy to provide the list of those projects to the committee here for your study.
There are a couple of things that we're doing. Number one, as I noted, is that the centre of excellence is providing support in navigating the regulatory process, as well as our programming. Number two is that some of these projects are in remote areas where infrastructure is needed to bring the minerals online. Therefore, through our critical minerals infrastructure fund, we are supporting those projects.
Number three is that lithium can be mined. There is also technology being developed domestically to actually extract lithium from brine. Through our critical minerals research, development and demonstration program, we are funding technology related to that.
