Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Gratton, in your remarks, you spoke about the current window of opportunity for the mining sector. This window of opportunity can be easily explained by our trade disputes with the United States and by the necessary energy transition.
Now, how can we turn this window of opportunity into mining projects that get off the ground?
Mr. Guay spoke to you about the need to meet infrastructure needs, which are partly but not exclusively the government's responsibility. We already discussed the northern corridor project, which would connect Ontario to a deep-water port in Saguenay. The major challenge lies in funding this type of infrastructure. Of course, there could be government involvement. However, do you know of any user‑pay infrastructure projects in the mining sector with different funding arrangements?
Can we be more flexible when it comes to infrastructure? How can we engage different partners such as the government, indigenous communities or companies?
It's good to have a window of opportunity, but we still need to take advantage of it. I would like to hear your opinion on this topic.
