To accelerate these technologies requires not just a commitment, but some significant investment to allow the capabilities to be put into place. One capability often overlooked is actually the workforce that can do the work to make these things happen. We are probably quite behind on that right now, especially when we look further to the west of the country, where we know that in Alberta and Saskatchewan the expertise in nuclear does not yet exist. It resides pretty much in Ontario and New Brunswick, with a little bit of legacy knowledge in Quebec.
Unless we address that aspect, nothing else is going to come through quickly enough, or we're going to rely on other nations to provide to it to us.
