Thank you, MP Schiefke. It's good to be at this committee as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, Deputy Minister.
Deputy Minister, we'll be embarking on a study in this committee very shortly that will be looking at the state of electricity need in Canada, from generation to transmission to distribution and consumption, and many other factors.
One of the sources of green electricity that we'll be looking at is nuclear energy. Canada's been in the forefront of that industry for a very long time through the CANDUs.
I had the opportunity to visit Darlington last year in the summer, and they were giving us an update on the three SMR modules, the reactors, that they're about to implement.
Can you give us an update on where we are on the SMR side, as well as the great work that I believe Canadian talent is doing across the world through the CANDU?
