Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you again to all of our witnesses. Everyone had a good presentation today.
Because most of the next few rounds are going to be dominated by oil, and probably to a lesser degree natural gas, I'm going to start off talking a little about uranium, which I think gets forgotten, as have some of the other industries, technologies, and fuel sources in some of the other rounds.
My first question has to do with the nuclear cooperation agreements, NCAs. They don't seem to be absolutely crucial to your business. They also seem to be something which the federal government isn't actually involved in. I'm sure we won't be negotiating them with North Korea or Iran any time soon.
Could you tell me a little about why they're so crucial where we're looking to expand for further markets? I know you're quite happy with what the government has done with India and China, but I'm sure there are other places.
Could you elaborate a little more on why that's crucial, what the federal government can do, and where we're going with future markets?
