Do you agree that the interns can stay for the in camera portion of the meeting?

I would like to hear your opinion on the government's recent investment in the Nouveau Monde Graphite mine in Quebec. A line of credit has just been granted to increase graphite production in Quebec. What do you think of this government investment?

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'm going to continue along the same lines. In Quebec, we are fortunate to have a copper supply chain through Glencore, which owns the Horne Smelter and the CCR refinery. If the provincial government in Quebec decided not to make the investment, do you think the federal government should get involved in saving the entire copper industry in Quebec?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Ms. Pekarik. I think the initial premise of your argument is the increase in revenue. You talked about an additional 33 billion dollars in revenues from the critical minerals supply chain. I would like you to tell us exactly what the three best strategies are that the government is going to focus on to reach the $33 billion in revenues.

Mr. Speaker, being an engineer and formerly the mayor of a small town, I think the more engineers we have in this place, the better off we are going to be. I would like to have the member's comments on how Build Canada Homes would use prefab housing and modular housing to lower the costs for young families in all of the country.

Thank you.

I'd like to talk with Mr. Boyd about refining and processing. Everybody is saying we have to stop extracting minerals and sending them somewhere else for processing. How do we create an environment here in Canada so that companies can process? Is there something we can do in the short term or the medium term?
