And we plan as a company here by 2030 to have 50% of all our products in that segment.

So that shows also how important really the demand side is to get decarbonization moving.

Absolutely.

I think this is a very big lever and governments can really help and support us to get moving.

So these are all the specifications that are being set.

So procurement standards, for example, governments can set.

There is the building codes and standards that we have that are currently extremely conservative, limiting us even in using more recycled material or limiting us in using more decarbonized modern binders.

So I think clearly governments can help here if they set the right procurement standards.

A lot of projects are government-led or in some form all these nation-building projects with some strong involvement from the government.

So they can help here really to create a demand pool

for these products and really working and we as an association working a lot on the building codes and standards.

And I think this is a key part for us to really drive demand for products because if there is a demand, then automatically the investments will come in our industry and release the decarbonization.

I would say a very big role, Mani, if you can see.

Mani, you just mentioned all these extreme weather events that we more and more see in Canada and around the world.

And in that context, really, durability and resiliency is not a nice to have.

It's really a core economic and also public safety issue.

And the advantage of concrete is that it combines strengths

Longevity, it's fire resistant, but is also very low in maintenance over a life cycle.

So if you really look at the life cycle of 50 to 100 years, concrete is really the best material to build our infrastructure.

And with this, I would really see that concrete and cement is getting much more important, strategic important really to build Canada in the future.
