Yes, it's certainly Cameco's intention to be vertically integrated as a nuclear energy company. We are active in other value-added aspects of the fuel chain. The majority of our focus, the majority of our business happens to be uranium mining and so forth.
I don't think you'd hear a whole lot different from any of the witnesses you have before you today. I think the importance of labour market and workforce development can't be stressed enough when it comes to our industry's advancing and succeeding. Entry level positions are not that huge an issue for us, but when you get to some of the more highly technical, highly skilled positions—in Saskatchewan we have quite an economic boom going on ourselves—it seems the same resource companies are competing with one another for the same set of jobs over and over again, be it mine engineers, geologists, or environmental experts who help out on the regulatory front to ensure that our operations are as pristine as they can be. Those are jobs that every company is looking to fill. When you ask if there is anything that's potentially holding us back, I'd say it's workforce development.
I mentioned that Cameco's workforce has quite a component of first nations and Métis. We work very closely with those communities, as do governments. I think there's a role for all of us to do more on that front and ensure that we have an engaged workforce, a capable workforce, a well-educated workforce, because it's been a competitive advantage for our company. I think it can be even more so for us and for other companies that maybe aren't as deeply involved with aboriginal communities as we have been.
