Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Williams‑Jones, what you said about metallurgy is important. I would like the analysts to take into consideration, for the report, the fact that last week the committee heard from witnesses who talked about their proposed consortium on rare earth minerals. They try to mutualize risk and see how they can develop technologies together to benefit the entire industry. I am just saying that for information purposes.
Mr. Laberge, let me turn back to you. Mr. Hogan's comments earlier were very relevant. He talked about the challenge of finding a proponent for the corridor project. Geographically, you are at the end of this infrastructure, and you are a federal creature. You are a federal public enterprise and some of your land is owned by the federal government.
Could you tell the committee how the Port of Saguenay could be improved to become a hub for critical and strategic minerals?
What investments could be made in the port's existing infrastructure to make it a hub for exporting critical minerals to Europe?
