Natural Resources committee Thank you for the question. Yes, we do. We have young people from our communities training in post-secondary education across the country. One of the challenges we face is that currently those people need to leave their home communities in order to study post-secondary education

Natural Resources committee I can try, although it's a little beyond my expertise. As you know, when we capture nuclear fuel in CANDU reactors, uranium in this case, we use a limited amount of the energy in that uranium. Somewhere in the neighbourhood of 10% to 15% of the energy is all we use. There is cur
November 29th, 2016Committee meeting
Dale Austin
Natural Resources committee That's an interesting question. I won't comment on the redistribution of funding from one program to another, but I think you've heard across the panel today of the desire and the need for further investment in nuclear innovation across the board. Where that money comes from I wi
November 29th, 2016Committee meeting
Dale Austin
Natural Resources committee I'm going to let my colleagues handle that, because they are more engaged in the R and D side of nuclear technology.
November 29th, 2016Committee meeting
Dale Austin
Natural Resources committee Certainly that is one of the areas where we would like to see support from the government. These areas are in many respects not unique to the nuclear sector. Certainly for Cameco, investment in education, from primary education through to post-secondary, in northern communities w

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee Thank you very much. Yes, that is true. We have been looking very carefully at whether or not we can access the emergency wage subsidy program, and it looks like in some months we qualify and in others we don't. We're waiting for clarification from the Canada Revenue Agency on e

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee In our industry, the uranium mining industry, we do not see, at this time, any opportunity for uranium mining in Quebec. It's my understanding that the Government of Quebec has a moratorium on uranium mining at this time. In order for us to consider new mining operations in the p
June 2nd, 2020Committee meeting
Dale Austin
Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee Yes, one benefit of operating in a country like Canada is that we have well-known regulatory systems governed by the rule of law. People understand the rules and the processes that need to be engaged for projects to get off the ground and come to fruition. That's not to say it is
June 2nd, 2020Committee meeting
Dale Austin
Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee We haven't tried to open a project under the new regulatory system, but we certainly believe it operates as it should. We think there is a path there. Again, there are always bumps along the road, and some of those bumps might be quite high, but yes, we think there is a well-know
