I certainly have been involved in discussions with companies and others that have been advancing the potential for small-scale nuclear. One of the places where it comes up is in getting power to remote communities. There's nothing per se in the budget for that, other than a reference to trying to increase our efforts to get cheap, reliable, clean power to remote communities. Under the broad heading of that, it's possible that small-scale nuclear would be one of the technologies that's exploited on that front. Certainly some people think this has potential for that. At this stage, it isn't proven. Whether it's something that we should be spending some time on, that'll be part of the consultation that we undertake going forward, as well as some of our own internal work, to figure out: is this a technology that's going to be productive, and over what time frame? Obviously, the issue of getting northern, remote communities off diesel is one of the policy issues that we will need to look at going forward, so that's a potential option.
