I'm going to bring this meeting to order again.
Thank you to our colleague, Mr. Simard, for raising this issue.
As I was about to say, I would like to remind witnesses that committee members may ask questions in either French or English. If you need interpretation, please take a moment now to prepare your earpiece and select the listening channel that you'll need in advance, in order to take full advantage of the short time allotted for questions and answers. I remind you that all comments should be addressed to the chair, but I'm a bit loosey-goosey on that, as we know.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted on Thursday, April 23, 2026, this committee shall resume its study of Canada's electrification, energy self-sufficiency and domestic energy security.
I would like to welcome our witnesses. The list has been prepared for me in alphabetical order, but I'm going to do it in the order that the witnesses will present to us today. We have with us George Christidis, CEO of the Canadian Nuclear Association; Dale Austin, the managing director of government relations for the Cameco Corporation; and Sam Boutziouvis, vice-president, government relations, nuclear, for AtkinsRéalis.
Welcome to our witnesses. You will have five minutes each for your opening remarks, after which we'll open the floor to questions from members.
Mr. Christidis, we'll start with you for five minutes.
