Yes, we were on the panel together, Kim.
We used to be in a NIMBY space and then that moved to BANANA: build absolutely nothing anywhere near anything. MAC underscores again, unequivocally, we are agnostic about fuel type. We do not discriminate on the products extracted from this country. We think we need to have all solutions on the table. We have a world-class nuclear industry, from extraction in Saskatchewan through to refinement in Ontario, through to generation of power in a number of different jurisdictions.
The advent of small modular nuclear reactors presents a tremendous opportunity for current off-grid circumstances to have lower-cost clean power. The benefits from that are many because it is virtually emission-free. It is lower cost. You can bring that to parts of the country that, if we wait at current timelines, will probably not see a connection to a piece of energy infrastructure in my lifetime.
The potential is huge. It has to be managed appropriately. We support a strong role for the Government of Canada in that. I understand that, at this time, prototypes of this technology are slated to be pilot tested at Chalk River facilities. MAC will remain involved in that.
We've also strongly encouraged the government to make sure there is a significant indigenous engagement as part of that pilot project, and through the entire application of this endeavour, wherever it may lead.
