As mentioned, we are a mature miner in Canada. We recently brought the Voisey's Bay underground expansion to our surface mining, but many of our mines are deep underground and have been for quite some time.
The mining approval process in other jurisdictions can sometimes move faster, but not always with the same degree of certainty. When you get your permit, will you actually get to build? We operate in other jurisdictions, such as Brazil and Indonesia, where you may be promised your permit in time, but your ability to build, to have access to the infrastructure and to get to market may then be questioned.
I think what we're seeing around the world—it's certainly in Canada, but it's also a contagion around the world—is an acceleration of mine permitting, responsibly. The EU has done that. The United States is doing that at a rapid pace. That is something we should keep our minds and attention on. Ten years ago, the United States was Canada's number one customer for oil and gas; it became our number one competitor. Mining faces the same existential threat from the United States.
I would applaud any motions that accelerate mine permitting in Canada, because we are going to need more minerals for all of the above. This is something that shouldn't be restricted to just a few projects. It should be for all responsible projects.
