Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  We certainly covered already the number of employees who are tied to the uranium mining industry. We're very proud of the fact that we strive to have RSN—which is residents of Saskatchewan's north—be a significant portion of our workforce. We talked about how more than 1,800 peop

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I believe your question is with regard to uranium prices in the current situation. We're watching the uranium price very carefully.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thanks, Gary, for your question. When we're fully operating, we are Canada's largest industrial employer of indigenous people.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you. Good afternoon. We appreciate the opportunity to speak with you today. Cameco is headquartered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and is one of the world's largest producers of uranium for nuclear energy. The vast majority of this uranium, of course, comes from our extensiv
