Mr. Speaker, nuclear is the future, and it goes beyond party lines. We are talking about the lowest greenhouse gas emitting, one of the most affordable, most scalable and frankly safest forms of energy out there. If one is not serious about nuclear, one is not serious about the economy or the environment.
Canada has been a pioneer in nuclear energy since the beginning. In fact, we were the second country in the world to produce nuclear energy.
One of the most promising forms of nuclear innovation is small modular reactors, or SMRs. If people are not too familiar with them, they do not have to worry; they will be hearing a whole lot more about them in the years to come. These are not traditional reactors. They are of incredible value for remote communities and small communities throughout Canada, allowing them to meet their energy needs of the 21st century.
I trust all my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to hopefully support SMRs and recognize their value.
