It's a terrific conversation, and I'm glad you're joining us for it.

[upbeat music] I think what you see the industry has built here in over a century, and what will continue to persist for the next century, is that full value chain.

We may not have advanced manufacturing yet, but we have tremendous exploration opportunity.

We are gonna run out of miners before we run out of minerals in Sudbury, so that is something that's important for the federal government, for the provincial government, for international markets to know.

Uh, we have tremendous extraction, and I think we can get more out of the brownfield assets that we have today, not just look to the next generation of new mines.

Absolutely new, need new mining projects, new resources, but what we've got can be developed even further.

And at least in our case, we operate North America's largest nickel refinery, one that is absolutely essential from a strategic asset to North American economic security, but also to national and continental security, and the opportunity for that to continue to be revitalized, rejuvenated, and grow again.

So whether or not you're supporting a project north of the border, um, if you're the US government or if you're kind of thinking through what an integrated supply chain is, except for aluminum and copper, um, which are painful ones I know, um, we do not have, uh, tariffs on most critical minerals.
