Certainly that is one of the areas where we would like to see support from the government. These areas are in many respects not unique to the nuclear sector. Certainly for Cameco, investment in education, from primary education through to post-secondary, in northern communities would be a significant help to us. A significant part of our workforce comes from people who live in our communities. In terms of the ability of those people to study and learn at home, to live at home and find jobs, we really take advantage of those opportunities for our business. It makes us a better business.
Along with that, frankly, is the infrastructure needed to support those opportunities in northern Canada. When we talk about northern Canada, we talk not only of the area north of 60 but also of that band of development just below the 60th parallel, certainly where our operations exist. Basic infrastructure like roads, airstrips, and broadband, as I mentioned, would all be beneficial in those areas in terms of federal government support and provincial government support. That allows us to operate more efficiently. I think studies show that in terms of the cost of operating a mine site in northern Canada, where we operate, it's about two to two and a half times more expensive just given the lack of infrastructure.
So if we were to ask for government investment, it would be in infrastructure and education.
