Absolutely. Sudbury has the world's largest integrated mining complex. There is nothing like it in the world. We have nine operating mines within our city limits. There will be 15 by 2030. We have over 100 years of capability in building ruggedized equipment that is meant to operate in harsh environments, environments with high salinity and environments that are GPS-denied. We have this existing capacity in the bedrock of our community.
Through our partners, which are also quite innovative in a mining industry that is innovative, there's a real opportunity now to leverage that expertise and see how we can deploy it in dual-use and defence applications. That's without even getting into our capacity and our expertise when it comes to critical minerals.
Sudbury has eight of the 34 critical minerals that have been defined by the federal government. Certainly, there's no shortage here in Sudbury of those key minerals that we need to do the work we need to do to keep pace and keep ensuring that we are leaders when it comes to mining, dual use and defence.
We are poised to seize the opportunities before us right now, and the work we've been doing is now increasingly important as we think of it as a national security question.
