Thank you.
Mr. Gaulin, in your opening remarks, you made four recommendations.
You spoke about the defence and strategic investment aspect. You referred to the Security Action for Europe program, or SAFE. This program will provide €150 billion for defence projects, which also involve critical minerals. This committee has heard on a few occasions about NATO's desire to set price floors for certain critical minerals to help mining projects get started.
I've been here since 2019. I've heard about many initiatives. However, I've yet to see any of them come to fruition. So I remain somewhat cautious. That said, I would still like to hear your thoughts on this particular window of opportunity, where the mining sector could be called upon to meet certain national defence and security needs. Aren't there possibilities here?
How could Canada help meet the needs of certain European partners?
