Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
My first ask is a very simple ask. It is—when talking about the opportunities in the natural resource sector, the decolonization of the Canadian industrial economy, and the “80 by '50” paradigm that Louis described earlier—simply to include the opportunity for advanced nuclear in the public narrative. It's not included now. That's my first request.
Now, in terms of how much money we actually need to build the first power plant, it will cost about $1.5 billion. That $1.5 billion will be shared by two important constituencies: ourselves as a capital equipment manufacturer, and our partner, being the first customer and the first owner of that capital equipment. That sharing will be a point of commercial discussion, but the total project cost shared by those two participants will be $1.5 billion.
We also will be seeking to reach out to the Canadian government to be a participant in those early projects. Our U.S. affiliate is doing so with respect to its project in the United States with the American government.
