Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I welcome our witnesses to our historic parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Research.
Let me just do my best here to ask a couple of questions in relation to science and research in this domain.
When we talk about SMRs, for you and the panels that came before, obviously, this is what you are into and what you do every day, but I would say that it's not a topic familiar to many people. In terms of research and science, what I'd like to know is....
To be fair, maybe I'll ask Global First Power and Mr. Diening to answer first, since he hasn't gotten a crack at the can yet. Then I'll follow with Electricity Canada and Mr. Bradley.
How do we train? Are we training enough people? Do we have enough labour? How is the research going in this sector? How does Canada compare to our international peers? Any suggestions, comments or feedback you can give on that, I would be interested to hear from you. I left it very broad deliberately, but I would love to get input from you. Do you work with our educational institutions or with our research companies? Is there any collaboration with those types of institutions?
