It's been a long time coming. Over the entire more than 30-year existence of Cameco, we have been working with our local indigenous communities. It has been a long journey to get to where we are. We have been remarkably successful, I would say, in developing these relationships, but it has not been easy.
Currently we have 18 communities in northern Saskatchewan that are part of Cameco's collaboration or partnership agreements. They are based on five pillars: community engagement, business development, community investment, environmental stewardship and workforce development.
We cannot operate where we do in northern Saskatchewan without the support of our indigenous communities. They provide a significant number of services, and they are a very reliable workforce that we require. It takes time. It's based on trust, and it's based on open dialogue.
