Thank you, Chair.
It's always good to see a representative from McMaster University at committee. As a proud McMaster engineering graduate myself, I've known Dr. Stephenson for about 30 years now, which is kind of crazy.
Dr. Novog, my first set of questions is for you.
In your opening statement, you talked about international refurbishment of CANDU reactors as an export opportunity for Canadian talent. You talked about small modular reactor design and export opportunities for Canada. When I think about Hamilton, I think about the opportunities for SMRs locally, the industrial centre in Hamilton, electric arc furnace production, data centres and district energy. People don't really know that Hamilton has a very robust district energy system.
How do you see the future of nuclear, both domestically in Canada and abroad, globally? What are the trends we're seeing?
