Minister, if we could turn back to our last topic, I asked a question about how the government determined the priority industries which would qualify for funding. I identified some other transition materials—iron ore, met coal, nickel and copper—none of which are on the critical minerals list, which is surprising to many because I believe many of those should be listed, but they're not. How did you pick out cement and aluminium to be priority industries which would qualify for funding?
