Industry committee  I'm sorry. Could you repeat the question? I missed the middle part.

Industry committee  As I mentioned earlier, we are already safely storing spent fuel on site at nuclear power plants here in Canada. That waste is monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, by the International Atomic Energy Agency. It is fully costed. There is no reason to suspect it will be any d

Industry committee  That is fair to say, yes. I think that I would agree with that as an unintended consequence.

Industry committee  It's been a long time coming. Over the entire more than 30-year existence of Cameco, we have been working with our local indigenous communities. It has been a long journey to get to where we are. We have been remarkably successful, I would say, in developing these relationships,

Industry committee  I would say that it's more than mutually beneficial economic interests. I would say there are mutually beneficial economic, environmental and social interests. It runs the gamut. We identified early on that, without the support of the northern communities, we would not be success

Industry committee  I would say no.

Industry committee  I believe it has the potential to do that.

Industry committee  I won't comment on the deep geologic repository and the discussions happening in Bruce, because I'm not familiar enough with it to comment. I will say that, in terms of the discussion on spent fuel, nuclear waste or however you do it, it is a fully costed part of any nuclear fac

Industry committee  That's a fair question. Thank you very much. We could continue on our way and continue to do the good work we're doing. We are firm believers that, any time we can talk about our industry, the role that it plays, and the role that it plays in western Canada and Saskatchewan in p

Industry committee  I would say yes. It would be possible to have them without the legislation. The legislation, from my point of view, puts a finer point on the need and the desire to have these types of conversations among the various interested parties.

Industry committee  I'm sorry that you're afraid of nuclear energy, frankly. It is, I think, a demonstrated, safe supplier of electricity around the world. Here in Ontario, where we are sitting, 60% of the electricity being generated is being generated by nuclear power. As I mentioned in my remarks

Industry committee  In my view, and I'll confine my comments to the energy sector, one of the main challenges on the prairies is looking for ways to make use of all forms of energy. This is not a situation where we are picking either-or. We are going to need all forms of energy into the future. I

Industry committee  That's a difficult question, because, as I read the bill, there is a significant amount of consultation and discussion that is part of that in order to come to what would be a final conclusion. I think there are ways to manage the bureaucratic burden, if I can put it that way, pr

Industry committee  I don't believe that's the intention of the bill at all. I believe the intention of the bill is to work together to come up with a plan to have a green economy in the Prairies that is successful, that minimizes the economic impacts of, in our case, energy and resource development

Industry committee  That is certainly what we believe as a company, that nuclear power must play a significant role in any transition to a green economy and that it will underpin the necessary electrification of those economies.
