Yes. I completely agree with the professor.
That's where I was about to go on the other question: To what degree can we develop technologies here in Canada? To what degree can we build and have supply chains that we can count on in this country?
I would absolutely agree that we are not spending enough on research, but because of the basics of our electricity system, we have the opportunity to be, once again, the global leaders. A generation ago, we were absolutely the leaders in long-distance transmission and major hydroelectric developments. We built with ambition in the 1960s and 1970s.
The other thing we did, though—and that's where I was about to head before—is we built an incredible supply chain with respect to nuclear. Our CANDU technology is a Canadian technology that continues to deliver. The supply chain is within this country, so as we hopefully look to the next generation of ambition, as we build forward and as we try to figure out how we're going to take advantage of the new storage opportunities we have, we're building the technology in this country and have a supply chain in this country.
