    Australia didn’t.

      Canada is attempting to grow its own domestic EV supply chain in order to become the world leader in EV battery production. It is already out competing China thanks to it’s large natural resource supply and developed mining and refining industries.

      The general idea is that Canada doesn’t want to be China’s supplier of raw materials and helping them become the world’s supplier of EV batteries when Canada could be that supplier.
