—the tenth-largest city in Canada; that's actually quite correct.
Our university, Western, is arguably the greatest university in this country. I say that with a bit of bias, but one thing I really appreciate about what they do is that their research and development initiatives are geared toward commercialization. We work with NRC; they happen to have a shop in London.
Western has recognized the whole issue of lightweighting as one of those game changers you've discussed. Through our university we've made a significant investment with a company to put in a Dieffenbacher press from Germany, aimed toward having lighter weight in auto manufacturing, aerospace, and so on. The potential is quite significant, so your reference to lightweighting is rather interesting, since it's one of the game changers they agree with.
I want to come back to something you referenced in your presentation about clean energy investment. Obviously we all know the importance of clean energy. I sit on the Standing Committee on International Trade, and I happened to be in Brussels and France in November. German representatives there gave us a great presentation on how they're moving towards clean energy, but I was shocked and quite surprised when they said that as they move away from nuclear, they're going to coal.
Frankly, every one of us on our committee, from all parties, just stopped and said, “What do you mean, you're going to coal?” That was their transition piece between solar and all these other things. It was because it's clean coal, whatever that means. I must admit that our whole committee was shocked by that piece of information.
We're not going to create an international incident and ask you to comment on their approach, but do you see coal coming back into Canada as a response to the need for clean energy? Do you have any thoughts about that?
