Mr. Speaker, last week, the Prime Minister officially broke ground on Nouveau Monde Graphite's Matawinie mine in Saint-Michel-des-Saints, in the Lanaudière region of Quebec, just six months after the project was submitted to the Major Projects Office. Once completed, this mine will be the largest graphite mine in North America and the G7.
Can the Minister of Public Works and Procurement and Quebec Lieutenant inform the House as to how this project will strengthen our critical minerals supply chain and support our efforts to build a stronger, more independent and more resilient Canadian economy?
