Thank you for your question.
I acknowledge that to bring a mine online, a number of steps need to be undertaken. Through the critical minerals strategy that Canada launched in 2022, we are taking steps to support mining projects to come online faster.
First of all, as I noted, there is a critical minerals infrastructure fund to support the infrastructure needed to bring our mineral resources to market. Second, I noted earlier in my remarks the G7 critical minerals production alliance. One of the challenges our mining projects face is not just the regulatory steps in seeking approval but also the fact that it is very challenging these days to raise the capital necessary to bring the projects online.
Hence, under Canada's presidency, we are launching the critical minerals production alliance to bring the supply side as well as the demand side together and match them up in order to support our projects that come online.
