Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First of all, before I start my questioning, I'd like to thank my colleague, Ms. Moore, for bringing this rare earths study to the attention of the natural resources committee. Unfortunately this study is by far too short. Today we've heard from nine witnesses, and that doesn't give us a chance to really explore the rare earth issue.
I want to start my questioning with Mr. Shefsky.
Mr. Shefsky, if you had a vision for rare earths in Canada, and you had two or three wishes that you could ask of the government, what would they be?
