Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank you all for your time today. It's very valuable in helping the work of this committee as we work on our common goal of supercharging critical mineral development in Canada.
Building off Mr. Martel's and Mr. Simard's questions about capital, I want to ask about access to capital and how we draw capital to Canada. It's also been identified by earlier witnesses as the most essential component to the development of critical minerals. It's also one of the roles of the Major Projects Office, helping projects access the capital they need. As Mr. Guay was mentioning, critical minerals as a basket is one of the areas the Major Projects Office is working on.
I want to ensure that, first, Mr. Ulansky's comments about overall improved regulatory environment are well heard. It's something the Prime Minister himself has said will be a focus of this new government as we bring average timelines down. One of the other complementary things I have heard would be that to access capital would be examples of projects going well and going quickly in Canada. You could then point markets to show Canada's new government is living our time to build mantra.
My question for the witnesses is on having their thoughts on that view, that case studies of Canada's new government's new approach would be helpful in accessing capital. Also, when you look at it through that lens of speed, when you weigh projects more heavily by speed, where do you think the opportunities are for Canada?
