Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Chair, I believe there isn't a path to zero emissions without nuclear. We haven't really talked a lot today about nuclear. I was very excited to participate yesterday in Minister Wilkinson's announcement.
For those in the room or online who aren't aware, Canada has signed an agreement with Romania for CANDU technology. This is a $3-billion loan, and that's billion with a “b”. The agreement calls on the Romanian government to spend that money 100% with Canadian companies and, of course, they have to pay that loan back with interest.
This is a win-win for Canada.
I'm wondering, specifically, Mr. McGowan, if you, first, were aware of this and, second, could speak to the potential impact this might have on the supply chain for Canada. Do you agree that we need to have a much more robust conversation about nuclear in Canada?
