Mr. Speaker, Canada is blessed with natural resources. It is one of our strategic advantages around the world, especially with the world wanting more of what Canada has to offer. Critical minerals are essential. We have a strategy that is embedded in the budget. There are significant investments with the sovereign fund. There are significant exploration tax credits that have been enhanced and expanded to more critical minerals.
These projects are essential. We have seen many of them already referred to the Major Projects Office, with great benefit to Canada's trading relationships. We have seen our ministers sign agreements around the world with other countries to supply critical minerals at a time when they really need them.
