        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6622450\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Yes. Torngat Metals is a good example. The company, which is also a member of Propulsion Qu\u00e9bec, works in the rare earth industry.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6622451\" data-originallang=\"fr\">There are several examples in the Quebec ecosystem alone. However, we can also look at the examples in the Ontario ecosystem, as Mr. Lefebvre suggested. There are lithium mines, such as Nemaska Lithium, Sayona Mining, Critical Elements Lithium Corporation, Galaxy Lithium and North American Lithium. As for graphite, there are Nouveau Monde Graphite and Mason Graphite. Lastly, there's nickel on the Ontario side, but some Quebec mines that supply Ontario nickel plants could re-supply plants on the Quebec side. There are several examples, such as Torngat Metals, whose process could easily be developed in Quebec or even across Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6622452\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Based on our studies and various meetings with our members, which are the mining companies, no projects in Quebec or Canada are unable to carry out secondary, tertiary or quaternary processing in Canada. Right now, no technological barriers prevent us from doing something of this nature in Canada. In my opinion, it's really a matter of incentives. We need to support companies in order to develop these types of processing here, in Canada.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6622450\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Oui. M\u00e9taux Torngat est effectivement un bon exemple. Ce dernier, qui est d\u2019ailleurs membre chez Propulsion Qu\u00e9bec, est dans la fili\u00e8re des terres rares.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6622451\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il y a plusieurs exemples seulement dans l'\u00e9cosyst\u00e8me du Qu\u00e9bec, mais on peut \u00e9galement regarder ceux de l'\u00e9cosyst\u00e8me ontarien, comme M. Lefebvre sugg\u00e9rait de le faire. Il y a des mines de lithium, comme Nemaska Lithium, Sayona Mining, Critical Elements Lithium Corporation, Galaxy Lithium et North American Lithium. Pour ce qui est du graphite, il y a Nouveau Monde Graphite et Mason Graphite. Enfin, on peut penser au nickel du c\u00f4t\u00e9 de l'Ontario, mais certaines mines qu\u00e9b\u00e9coises qui alimentent des usines ontariennes de nickel pourraient en r\u00e9alimenter du c\u00f4t\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec. Il y a donc plusieurs exemples comme celui de M\u00e9taux Torngat, qui dispose d'un proc\u00e9d\u00e9 pouvant facilement \u00eatre d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 au Qu\u00e9bec ou m\u00eame au Canada, de mani\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9rale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6622452\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Enfait, selon les \u00e9tudes que nous avons effectu\u00e9es et les diff\u00e9rents contacts avec nos membres, qui sont ces entreprises mini\u00e8res, il n'existe pas vraiment de projets qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois ou canadiens qui ne peuvent effectuer de la deuxi\u00e8me, de la troisi\u00e8me ou de la quatri\u00e8me transformation en sol canadien. Actuellement, aucune barri\u00e8re technologique ne nous emp\u00eache de faire quelque chose du genre au Canada. \u00c0 mon avis, c'est vraiment une question d'incitatifs; il faut soutenir les entreprises pour d\u00e9velopper ces transformations, ici, en sol canadien.</p>"
