Canada has the capability to take a look at that industry as it evolves. There's a question of which fusion technology will emerge. There's a bit of a competition in the market. The heavy water tritium fuel side that comes out of the CANDU reactors is a big component of the opportunity that Canada has to build from that and look at it.
Canada is in a very good spot from the perspective that a lot of the nuclear companies and supply chains are looking at the potential for fusion, but fusion is a bit further out.
If I could bring it back a bit, if you don't mind, to some of the questions you asked of both Dale and Sam, I want to reiterate the importance of decisions that need to be made now. Fusion is going to be a great technology in the future. We don't know what that future looks like yet. That industry is going to have to shape and form. What we are facing right now is the need for big decisions to be made—whether they're on the regulatory environment, the financial piece, the IT investment tax credit or whatever the financial models are—to really get this critical energy infrastructure sector enabled to build.
At a critical time when we're looking at a recession and we are facing national security and energy security uncertainty, this sector is going to produce jobs and innovation, but the regulatory regime has to be ready and the financial environment has to be ready, along with the workforce and the supply chain.
I know it's a bit of a loop back, but I really need to emphasize the importance of that. That's why we look forward to the nuclear energy strategy and to implementing that effort as quickly as possible.
