Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses for coming to our science and research committee.
I'm going to direct my first questions to Canadian Nuclear Laboratories. I was quite interested in your opening remarks, where you quite frankly said that research all begins in the laboratory. You have to study it, research it and, of course, this is part of what we are doing at our committee here. We want to hear from researchers, scientists and so on.
I have some questions for you. To what extent are Canadian universities or educational institutions involved in SMR development projects currently in Canada? What role do you see them playing in these projects?
