I think that's why it's important for us in Canada to have our own supply chain independent of countries like China that exert monopoly or near monopoly power over certain critical minerals.
Going forward, it's expected that the economic growth in China is going to drive demand for rare earths and critical minerals, such that it's very likely that China will not be exporting as much as it is currently. Not only can critical minerals be used as a tool for political leverage, but also demand itself within China is going to reduce the supply of critical minerals from the country going forward. It's that much more important that we here in Canada, working with our partners and allies, develop these supply chains so that our industries, including the defence industry and the clean energy sector, are not starved of these important materials, which would put in jeopardy our industries here at home.
