I can speak to that very briefly.
As Pierre mentioned, the association does support carbon pricing. What we're trying to do is effect behavioural change and incentivize the appropriate behaviours on the basis of a carbon price. At the end of the day, we also need to be sensitive that a one-size-fits-all solution isn't apportioned equally in all shapes and sizes. We are carbon-vulnerable in remote and northern regions in this country. As we approach a higher threshold of carbon costs, we're going to need a managed transition to a lower-carbon reality for some of these off-grid sites.
If we want to grow the critical mineral supply chain, then there are many things we can do. I'll speak to that in one moment. We cannot lose sight of or take for granted the pre-existing world-class critical mineral supply chain that already exists in Canada—in Quebec, Ontario, in other provinces and the north.
The next part of your question also speaks to a question that Mr. Lefebvre had: What gaps need to be filled here? I think it would be a false impression for this committee to take away that a critical mineral supply chain and a battery electric vehicle supply chain are one and the same thing. They overlap, but the reality is they are also very different. Some critical minerals don't go into batteries, but they do go into electric vehicles. Some critical minerals go into computer chips that electric vehicles can't work without, but they're not in the battery themselves.
