00:00Well, officially I would call it discussions early in the process.
00:16I would say it's a new process because it's a new government.
00:21And I would be very open about that because things have changed globally, right?
00:26And, you know, if you look at what's happening with India and some of the usual trading partners, a lot has shifted here as well.
00:33And so we're in a different environment, but it's important that we support each other.
00:38You know, you talk about aerospace, AI, critical minerals, energy, agriculture.
00:44There are many areas of opportunity that we've identified, especially on investments.
00:48What more can we do? And so that's the focus. That's the energy we want to send.
00:52You know, Dr. Deshankar was there in Canada yesterday.
00:57You know, Minister Anita Nanda was here a few weeks ago. I'm here now.
01:01And Minister Goyal has committed to coming to Canada.
01:05So what I see from this new government, new Prime Minister Carney, new government, new focus, new energy, new mandate,
01:12is to start afresh because things have changed from where we were two years ago.
01:17You know, you look at policies in the trade world that President Trump has made that has really shifted things dramatically.
01:24Canada is the only country in the world that has every element needed to build an electric battery.
01:30And so when you look at what we're doing in Canada with our critical mineral projects,
01:33we welcome that investment from India is what I was very clear about today is, you know, you want to secure supply chains?
01:40We have those those resources and we're ready to work with you to make sure that we're able to get those resources.
01:47And it's also about processing. Much of that processing, as you know, happens in one country, mostly in Asia.
01:53How are we going to work together to add value to that processing?
01:57Because the value is in the processing.
02:10Unfortunately, especially in the different parts of the world, nobody is in the Commission.
02:37You
