Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'll be directing my questions to Mr. Cleary from BlackRock.
Before I get into that, I want to remind my colleagues who just asked a few questions there that they were in government for most of that time, for the scenario that we're talking about. There were a series of acquisitions from foreign countries under their watch. I'm not sure they want to be throwing too many stones there.
I will suggest, Mr. Cleary, that one of the reasons we're doing this study right now is that we recognize that a plan is necessary. I agree with you that getting to the point of getting to a plan is something that we all agree would be beneficial, providing certainty and recognition for the industy.
My first question is going to be very specific. The members of this committee won't be surprised as my interests lie very much in the nuclear industry, having ATS, BWXT and others in my riding. I was very interested in your opening comments about vanadium, specifically. I recognize that it is a very critical element within the nuclear industry.
I'm wondering if you have any insight on potential threats, with expansion and with the refurbishment projects at say, Bruce Power, if we don't have a proper supply chain of this particular mineral.
