I would say that hearts and minds have changed in Ottawa when it comes to nuclear. Certainly, there is an understanding that if countries are going to meet not only their net zero targets but also the massive increases in electricity that are needed, there has to be a full team Canada approach for us to win these contracts in jurisdiction.
When it comes to financing specifically, Export Development Canada was there for every previous international build in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s. Export Development Canada is there for the Romania project as well. We've seen the announcements coming from EDC, and certainly EDC has been engaged in the project we're currently seeking in Poland. EDC has been engaged in the Turkey bid also.
We're actively engaged in a competition in those two countries as we work to the final investment decision in Romania. It's imperative, because with the five other actors, the technologies we see are largely supported by their sovereign as well, be it the Russians, the Chinese, certainly the U.S., the Koreans or the French. It really is a national strategy that surrounds that, which includes financing for these projects.
In each case in which EDC has been part of a build in a country in the past, be it South Korea, China or Romania, the debt that has gone into the project from EDC has been repaid in a very timely fashion as the reactor comes on board, which is a net benefit to taxpayers here in Ontario and in Canada.
